Used for hikes, camping, and backpacking trips throughout the summer. We used it to keep bugs out of our tents. We still got a few bug bites here and there, but the spray probably helped!

I originally bought this as a means to carry my Sony NEX camera with me when I'm out hiking. I got tired of relying on a standard neck strap, which would let my camera dangle around as I hiked through the wilderness, and bags and pouches were too inconvenient for me for when I wanted to take a quick picture. I realized that I could use this to mount to my camelback water bag, or my backpack, but still be quickly accessible for those times you need a quick shot, and still restrained enough as to not precariously dangle around as I scaled rocks or steep inclines. The holster itself appears very durable with heavy stitching, and a very large contact area for the Velcro. The holster itself is plastic, but appears durable enough. It includes a safety lanyard as well in case it slips out of your hand or you miss the holster, and it too appears to be very durable. I've recommended this to multiple other friends who enjoy photography while out hiking or camping.

Use for every hiking and backpacking trip and has never failed.  Great for measuring or using for warm/hot liquids.

After buying one back last spring, we've bought 2 more additional ones. We've used them extensively on hiking, skiing, and off road without any issues. It's durable, light, and easy to carry in a backpack and it can be used with anything from a cell phone, GoPro, and Nikon DSLR without any issues. I highly recommend this product for anyone that can appreciate quality at an affordable price.

When I received this, I initially just thought about attaching it to one of my hiking bags and using it as another pocket for storing small miscellaneous items in.  It attaches nicely through the Molle system that is common on military styled gear via two button snapped straps located on the back of the bag.  However, after testing it by wearing it on my belt, which is what it was primarily designed for, I think it will definitely serve a better purpose using it that way.  When I go camping, I am typically loaded with "gear" in my pockets.  Especially on the days when we are setting up and taking down the campsite.  To make matters worse, I am constantly moving from crouching to standing as I am setting up tents and unpacking equipment from the back of the truck.  I've got keys, phone, multi-tool, lighter, zip ties, and other small items crammed in my pockets making the whole process uncomfortable.  Most of the time, I just "de-gear" myself and end up unloading everything either on the ground, tailgate, or picnic table.  Problem is, when I need something, I've got to stop and go get it.

I loaded this particular bag with the typical items that I usually have with me and it sure is a lot more convenient to move around and have everything that I need in one place on my side.  The bag has two zippered compartments with divided sections within each for organization.  I was able to fit my lighter, multitool, a handful of the small zip ties that I use for certain things, truck keys, and I still have some room to comfortably put a few other small items if needed.  The bag also has an outer section that allows you to slide your phone into.  My phone (iPhone 6s) is in a leather wallet case and it fit perfectly.  This particular area is basically an elastic band that can accommodate phones about the width size of an iPhone 6s.  The phone can be further secured with a buckled flap that is adjustable to the phone's height.  It fits snuggly and works well.  There is a small long pocket on the outside of the bag that appears to be for a pen as well.  The whole rig reminds me of a camping man's pocket protector.  On some of these family campgrounds, I like to have some spare change easily accessible for boat rentals, buy ice, and to carry my ID around.  I think this will work perfectly for that also.

The bag appears to be well constructed and I don't see any issues with the durability of the material or stitching.  The button snaps for the belt straps are very secure and do not pop off easily.  The zippers run smoothly and I haven't had any problems with them snagging on any material.  The bag wears comfortably on my side and it will certainly help alleviate the aggravation of having so many pocket items for camping.

The manufacturer sent this bag direct to me at no cost for evaluation.  My opinions are my own and reflect my initial impressions and testing of the product.

Bought this for my regular backpacking trips. and it fits EVERYTHING. For anything that doesn't fit inside the pack, there are several pockets and straps where you can attach a variety of items

Update (January 2016): I have used this backpack on multiple hiking excursions and it has stood the test of time and the abuse it goes through when on the trail. Its handy storage compartments near the waist are perfect for keeping knives and snacks for when you are hiking, so you don't have to stop, unstrap, and open the contents of the backpack.

I bought this to use hiking, but enjoyed it so much it migrated to other purposes as well. I now bring this with me on long car rides, planes, and even at my office as a lumbar support. The small size, and adjustable firmness is really great for many uses.

Awesome backpack! I bought this because I was going on a multi-leg trip which involved hiking/camping and staying in the city, with travel by cruise, bus, and plane. It was big enough for my clothes and necessary camping gear (though admittedly I pack light) and it even had a laptop sleeve which protected my iPad. The front pocket also fit a book and chargers nicely. Even with it's size, it didn't look ridiculously large on me, and I'm 5'1", and it fit well in tight overhead bins as long as the front pocket was empty. It was comfortable enough for camping with--though this wouldn't be my backpack of choice for a pure camping trip, because it's not waterproof--and stylish enough that I didn't look totally ridiculous walking around the city with it. Too big for my taste for smaller trips, but definitely a nice larger backpack.

A couple of things I don't like: the zipper on the front pocket came off after only a few days. I was eventually able to resecure it with some pliers, but I do wonder how soon the rest of the backpack might fall apart. The backpack itself is also pretty heavy, so not great if you're walking around a lot, but you would also expect that from canvas. It doesn't have a place for a water bottle, as you can see from the photo. You can kind of wedge it between the straps (or get a carabiner), but a dedicated pocket would be nice. Lastly, as I mentioned before, if the backpack is full, the front pocket has to be empty in order to fit it into an overhead bin. I consider these all minor nuisances, and I would definitely recommend this product as long as these last things aren't dealbreakers for you.

I bought this mainly to keep phones charged during hikes, since both the girlfriend and I use ours as GPS/tracking things to brag to&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Facebook/dp/B004HWT6DO/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Facebook</a>&nbsp;about how outdoorsy we are. With a few hours of hiking around without service with the GPS on,&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/our/dp/B0097CZBH4/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">our</a>&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/phones/dp/B0074R1PI8/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">phones</a>&nbsp;would be running on fumes, and I had mine die on me more than once.

NO LONGER.

I just haul this (admittedly, heavy) little rubberized battery thing and&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/cables-for/dp/B004SBBD8U/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">cables for</a>&nbsp;the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/two-phones/dp/B009SYZ8OC/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">two phones</a>&nbsp;in&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/my-pack/dp/B004382X3M/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">my pack</a>&nbsp;and we're good to go for days if necessary.

Since then, I also use it:
Around the house, if I'm playing games on my phone and don't want to kill the battery
On the way to work, to charge&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/my-precious/dp/B00AWH595M/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">my precious</a>&nbsp;if I've been neglecting doing so
On vacation, I left the assortment of chargers at home and just brought this

Very handy on our hikes during our 3 week vacation through several national parks.  Carried our water, phones and with the included netting in the small pocket even carried some extra long sleeve shirts.

The first one we received had a manufacturers defect and Angelbubbles replaced it with a perfect unit.  Thanks!

This is perfect for camping and hiking! I love the compass and I've been using it to teach my daughter's how to find direction. The whistle is super handy (I may have used this to call the kids in for dinner once or twice). I'm really pleased with this purchase and hope that I'm never in a situation that requires I need it - but I'm confident that if I am, it's there for me!

I purchased this backpack for camping trips and was not disappointed. It was perfect for short day hikes. I like that there are plenty of compartments to stow gear in. Also, it folds up nicely into itself for storage. This is very handy when you have a packed SUV full of camping gear. I chose the orange pack so that I would be visible on the trail and it was a perfect color! I am going out again this weekend and fully intend to use it again and again. I would not hesitate to recommend this pack for campers and day hikers.

Perfect for hiking to alpine lakes and camping out and fishing.

I purchased this back pack around May of 2015 to use on a cross country national park road trip.  This pack has gotten a lot of use over the past year and I must say, it still looks new.  The material is incredibly strong while also feeling cool and light weight.  The part of the backpack that goes against your back has a curved mesh screen area that I believe is used to insulation.  The straps and adjustment options are all around convenient for adjusting the pack based on the amount of items & i've never had an issue getting this thing to feel comfortable.  Tons a space, hidden compartments and convenient well though out places to clip extra gear too.  Also holds a pretty large size water bag.  Would recommend this as a day pack only.

We just returned from a trip to an area where daily hiking through natural parks & weight restrictions were an issue.  This bag answered all my needs!  Durable enough to load up for daily treks, 2 water bottle pockets on sides held up wonderfully!  Large enough center pocket to carry what you need, outside smaller pocket great for quick access.  Nice, durable water-resistant nylon with comfortable shoulder straps.  Perfect for day trips!

Great little addition to camping trips, hiking, or car camping.  Easy to pack up, solid construction, and cleans/dries decently well.  Use this all the time and I think my dog prefers it than her bowl in the house!
