"great little pack, just be careful not to lose your water!"

Rating:****
The VO24 is durable, lightweight and reasonably comfortable. As a lightweight backpacker I can do an overnight by packing my tent in the front pocket secured by the straps and my sleeping bag, clothes, and food inside. The side pockets allow for 2 litres of water carry. Couple this with a litre carried by hand like I normally do and one can achieve an excellent range without refill. My only complaint inadequate depth in the mesh water bottle pockets. A standard litre bottle doesn't fit securely here, and I'd hate to see someone lose some important water if they were doing anything but walking peacefully on level ground. The strap does secure the water a bit, but not to my ideal liking.

Great light day pack

Rating:*****
Very nice pack. After a long winter of hauling winter gear around, I want to travel fast and light. This pack does it all. The large hip belt pockets hold most of my snacks, and keeps my camera handy. I hate to have a pack that weighs more than the gear thats in it. There is enough room for emergency gear, all my rain gear, and snacks. The two side streachy pockets you can't reach with it on, but it does keep things handy if you need them more often, sence there is no internal seperate pockets. You can even dry your rain gear back under the bungie cords on the trail.

The perfect size for everything.

Rating:*****
I am mainly a canoeist and don't do tons of long backpacking trips, but this pack is perfect for all of my day hikes and adventures. It is big enough for food, camera, frisbee, water, and a change of clothes without being bulky or getting in the way. I use it for commuting to work, for long Saturdays in the city when I don't have time to bike home between seeing people, and for any hike I go on that is a day or less. I would be lost without this pack.
