5.0 out of 5 starsGreat pack!
Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2019
This is my first lightweight pack. I wanted a pack that was much lighter than my old one, which was more than double the weight as this. This pack, considering the very light weight, is extremely durable. and the water resistance is actually pretty effective. I hiked for a few hours through some steady rain and had no signs of water on the inside. If you are making the switch from a conventional type of pack and want something lighter, this pack is it.
The main compartment has plenty of room to carry everything I need to be very comfortable, even in winter time, for me and my Dog. The zipped pocket inside where the frame is offers some extra organization as well for flatter/less bulky items.
The side pockets can comfortably hold two 1L water bottles (life water or smart water bottle sized). The lid is pretty awesome, nice gear loops at each corner so you can clip stuff to them, and you can weave some shock cord through them, or use whatever cordage you have so you can strap something on top like a jacket, etc. The lid pocket can hold a ton of stuff... I personally use it for snacks, gloves, hat, things i may want while i am hiking so I dont have to take the pack off. Hip pouches are a decent size, great for holding small items you may need while hiking.
The mesh pocket on the front can actually hold a decent amount of stuff as well, good for stuff you may need quick access to, like water filtration, poop kit, first aid. and of course more straps along the front to secure gear down to the outside of your pack if you need to.
The general comfort of the pack is just awesome... I sweat a lot, so its inevitable to sweat on my back, but compared to other packs there is a noticeable difference in the amount I sweat, and there is no fabric that absorbs my sweat like some packs, some packs I have used hold the sweat like a sponge and take forever to dry
I dont see me needing another pack for a while.
