Great little durable pack for my hikes.  So far, no ripping or tearing.  Plenty of room for snacks, water, wallet, phone.  Light weight.

This pack is great. I have set it up as a bug out bag/ hiking pack. It arrived on time and in great almost new condition. Mild wear and duct tape residue.

I use this little pack for snacks, bandana, and water bottle when hiking and especially skiing. I like the bandolier Style across the front because on a ski lift it keeps your back against the bench. I still need to keep my cell phone in my jacket coat pocket to save the battery but my other food and insulated drink are easy to get to and goes over the front of my jacket so I don't have to unzip to access a little refreshment.
I call it my purse like Hermione in Harry Potter because it feels like it has an endless capacity without being too bulky.

This pack survived 2 weeks hiking in the Italian Alps and two weeks general travel.  Had more than enough room for supplies for several days at a time.  Lots of easy access pockets and nice compartment for the sleeping bag.  Was plenty big enough for a light weight hiking sleeping bag.  I was actually able to fit a towel and other small clothing items in the same compartment.

I'd  even trust it on another hike  but do recommend to carry an extra strap and buckles just in case.

Just got this in the mail a couple days ago. Right away I was impressed with the quality of the material and the pack itself. The metal clasped for the big pocket are pretty rugged. I Dont think I have to worry about them breaking at all. The metal loops for caribiners seem a little less rugged but all in all they will do just fine for whatever you hang on them. I have a few clean kanteens so I'll probably hang one from there in the case that I'm out of room in the bag. Which honestly won't be often. This thing has a lot of space. I needed something to hold my dslr camera bag and still have room for other everyday things and this bag is exactly what I needed. It's pretty bulky so if that bothers you I would stear clear. The top compartment is pretty tough. Not solid but it is tough. I'll use that for my ipod, phone and probably a pair of glasses/sunglasses.  The two side pockets are nice and big. I can fit my 40oz klean kanteen comfortably in there with a little wiggle room to spare. The bottom compartment has plenty of space as well. I'll probably end up using it in the summer for wet Sandy towels after the beach so I don't get sand everywhere else. Also a good spot for pair of sneakers and gym clothes. The front compartment has 4 different solid pokets. One large, one medium,two small. I use one of the bigger one for holding my SD card holder (5"x 3"), the medium one for my leatherman and my flint and steal fire starter and the other two for a couple smaller Maglite flashlights and a couple pens. There's also more room in the bottom of that pocket as well that I use to throw some misselanious stuff in there (lighter, headphones, knife, skate wrench) also its a good spot for your wallet and keys. The biggest compartment has plenty of room. It has a spot for your laptop and is nicely padded. I put my MacBook pro 15" in there and fits just fine. In the actual compartment I have my small dslr camera bag with plenty of room to fit probably two days worth of clothes. I plan on using this for weekend trips. I think it's plenty big enough. Only reason for giving 4 stars is because I'd like to see how it holds up with everyday use. I will update when I get a few months use out of it.

Great little pack so far. I pack a couple of water bottles, poop kits and doggy treats in it and we hit the beach almost daily and my pup acts like he is on a mission. As long as you keep the load balanced it stays near centered even when he is chasing things and the handle has proven helpful on several occasions. This seems to be a well made, sturdy harness. My dog is growing fast and now has a 27 inch girth and is 50 pounds so I'll be looking for the next size up. This is a good harness for long walks and hanging out with your companion dog. This is not a tactical harness.

I bought this bag for a camping trip to CO. For day hikes and just overall carrying instead of a purse while I was out there.
 I was amazed at just how much these little packs can hold!! I love this pack. It also has a place for a water bladder which i didn't know until i received it. I would definitely recommend this pack to anyone my size. I am 5'1- 110lbs. its a perfect fit.

The pack is very light and looks durable, even though I have not get a chance to use it yet. The spring is right around the corner and can't wait to take it for a hike....

Great pack fits everything I need in it for a week long hike and still has room. Its the perfect size for me too I am 5 9 so not a bag for tall people

I have used this pack for almost 3 years now, on weekly hikes so I feel I'm able to give a very accurate review for it.

The good thing about this pack is that is it such a great size for day hikes! It is a comfortable size for me, not to big, not too small. The two zippered pouches are very ample for snacks, tissues, phone, keys and small items.  The water bottle holder is very durable and with the string that wraps around the top of the bottle I've never lost my bottle. And that is saying a lot since I've fallen a few times while wearing this.

This pack is also incredibly durable!  everything has held up quite well; stitching, zippers, string.  It's all going strong for three years of hard use now!

The only down side to this is that the straps are VERY hard to adjust. The buckle makes it hard to slide the straps through. It takes a long time to get them to the right size.  I have to adjust size for between summer and winter clothing for it to fit snuggly and it takes quite a while.  If they would fix
this one issue it would be perfect.  I also feel that small triangles of foam where the strap meets the pack would be helpful.  If you load your pack to heavy the straps kind of cut into your hips.

Thick shoulder straps and various extra compartments, I use this backpack for light hiking. Put some snacks, 3 bottles of water, umbrella, mobile charger and towel, it work great for me. All looks good, doesn't hold in heat too badly on your back, and more durable than most I've used. Would high recommend to anyone.

For reference I am 6 1 and 175lb, waist size 32. I got this pack to replace an old external frame pack I had. In the past I have also used an Osprey internal frame pack and they both preformed similarly. So far this pack has endured three 30 + mile trips and has held up pretty good. It has good support and a lot of places you can externally attach stuff. The hip straps took a little time to wear in but as soon as they were, they were very comfortable (same goes for shoulder strap). The rain cover is a nice accessory which I had to use once so far, the pack material is also fairly water resistant which is also nice in a snowy environment. On my last trip I synched the lower draw strap too hard and the stitches tore out, unfortunate but it happens with any pack if you synch too tight (nothing a little needle and thread cant fix).
Pros:
- The material and zippers on the pack are very durable
- Water resistant and rain cover
- Comfortable hip and shoulder straps
- Large carrying capacity
- Good back ventilation
- Adjusting torso length was very easy
- Easy access to items in the bottom, middle, and top of the pack through compartments
Cons:
- The pack was a bit uncomfortable for the first two trips. Be sure to use it a few times before going on a long one
- The stitching on the strap did tear out but was easily fixed
All in All:
I love this pack and plan on using it for at least another 4 years. I would recommend this pack to anyone looking to buy an affordable well made pack. It does the job and more.

Great lightweight and durable pack.  I use this to put my coaching gear in and it works very well for my needs.

I bought this to carry my digital SLR with me on hikes.  I do wish the pack had some more smaller pockets on the front but overall have found it useful.  Just got back from a trekking trip to Thailand where I gave this pack its first real test.  I ended up falling off a 20ft ledge, landing on my back and tumbling a bit.  I thought my camera was a goner for sure, but not even a scratch!  Wish I could say the same for myself.

needed a pack for day hikes and this is perfect! i can fit two extra layers (nike quarter zip and columbia rain jacket), food/snacks, portable chargers and all my camera accessories! I love having the water pack too, i filled it with ice and cold water in the morning and it was still cool by the end of the day!

I use the pack daily. I hike often and it's now a second nature to grab it before heading out.

This was a great day pack. It folds up incredibly small, yet is more durable than I would have thought. I was fully expecting it was going to start falling apart sometime during the month long backpacking trip I was on. I packed this thing chock full on a number of occasions and the stitching showed no signs of wear whatsoever. Definitely recommended.
