great lightweight pack

Rating:*****
Used this on my summit of Half dome in Yosemite. Great lightweight pack. I had it stored in my main backpack until it was time to make the last push to the top. Handles great, waist belt prevents sway. And even has a clip for your hydration system. Comfortable harness. Cant ask for more coming form a 10oz pack

Has its purpose

Rating:*****
For a ultra lightweight no frills small pack I think its great. Nice feature is that it has a waist strap. Have not used it yet but I can see where it would be handy and useful while biking or to carry extra items it hot climate.

Great light weight pack

Rating:****
The pack is great and light weight, however the one thing that I do not like about it is there is no place for a water bottle on the outside.

Great pack for the minimalist who wants hydration

Rating:****
It's hard to find an ultralight pack that supports a hydration bladder, if that's your preferred drinking method, but this one's perfect. Very durably built for an ultralight too.

Ultra Light Pack.

Rating:****
Super light and quite packable, weighs just like a T-shirt. Would be better if there's a pad behind the back, like the old dana design kompressor.

Great pack for the money

I have nothing but good things to say about this pack! Extremely light, inexpensive, durable, and oh yeah...light. PERFECT
