| I was surprised at how lightweight and compressible this pack is. I have a Platypus Thunderhead pack that is about the same size, but is quite a bit bulkier and heavier. I like this size of pack for climbing multi-pitch routes, and the comfort of the straps across my shoulders is very important. This pack has a better strap design than other hydration packs that I've seen, as there are no seams to cause chafing. The adjustment system is very cool - the straps are super-easy to adjust, and have hardware to keep the ends out of the way that actually works well. The only downside to the pack is that it has a very narrow body that is not expandable. My other pack has a zipper expansion system that has proven to be very useful, and something of that sort would be a great addition to this pack. | |

| I wanted a small light pack for trail running, for hiking with not-as-adventurous family and friends, for biking, and perhaps as a pack for multi-pitch climbs. The Flash fit the bill. Most other similar packs were either ~ 1 lb heavier, or had yet more weird straps (Camelbak M.U.L.E.), or were too simple (GoLite Ion). Technical packs seemed like overkill for hiking, and I thought this would make it a good trail-running pack. It is good for running: a bit noisy but stays put and inside it fits a shirt, bladder (2-L MSR Dromlite) and misc. items. My other BD pack (the sadly discontinued Shadow) has held up great, and this pack looks like it'll do much the same. Thin silnylon on the outside rear, but more padding than I expected for the back. Comfortably fit me (5'10", 150 lbs). | |

| First let me say this is a small pack...maybe 1/2 the size of a normal adult "rucksack" that kids carry to school... Now, if thats what you want..something light, airy, roomy enough for your basic equipment without slowing you down or being cumbersome....this is a nice rig...Looks darn good too....the fabric is so thin its like silk(but holds up well)...so it weighs next to nothing...very comfortable to wear too....a really nice light daypack! | |

| Great little pack. Well made and light weight. Good for short trips and hikes. Enough room for a small med kit, heat blanket and some food. Can strap down a jacket or fleece to outside. | |

"Great for ultras and seconds in summer, but not a trad leader's pack" | |

| Hope Black Diamond is listening so this very good pack can be made fantastic. First, another reviewer here claims that there are other packs out there like this. not really, if weight is really important to you. I'm a climbing chick so weight is always key, and this seven ounce wonder with it slim 9 liter capacity feels great on, which means it fits well with narrow shoulder straps that don't get in the way, and you hardly notice you have it on with three liters of water in your camelback. Black Diamond needs to beef up the shoulder straps so they stay tight and add lightweight Camelback-type strap management to keep stray ends from getting in the way. They also need to make the stash pocket | |

"Good not Great" | |

| This pack is great for day hikes or rides...unfortunately so are many other packs. While the low weight is great, and the exterior pockets are perfect for gels and whatever else you want/need, the pack is flawed. The straps don't stay tight when you run meaning the pack slides around a lot on the trail. The draw string on the back doesn't fit much more than a pair of gloves or jacket you definitely can't fit a bike helmet if you are multitasking/adventure racing. It's upside outweighs it's downfalls if you are looking for a hydration/small day pack, but find something else for racing | |
