Nice 'N Light

Rating:****
I was impressed with the light weight of the bag. However, the lightweight fabric is nearly transparent, so if you don't want to see your stuff from outside the bag, you might not like that. The bag is narrow and therefore not hugely roomy and if I were hiking alone, I might not have room for more than a couple of days' food supplies. Also, I felt that the mesh pockets at sides and back (for water bladder) could have been a little deeper, especially the back one which I used for the hydration bladder. I liked the small waist belt pouches for trail mix. There are no internal compartments to keep weight low. All in all, I was very happy with the bag, especially at the sale price. I am very happy with the light weight and it looked sporty.

Great backpack for weekend trips

Rating:****
overall this pack seems to be made well. Gregory has been a big name in backpacks for some time. It is constructed of ultralight ripstop materials that seem delicate but I havent really put them to the test yet although I wouldn't go bushwacking with it. But seems to be perfect for a go lite type hiker that can keep it on the trail.

Arreba Backpack Review

Rating:****
Strap running across chest did not break but separated from the shoulder strap when put under pressure. I have not been able to fix it myself yet. Despite this... I really like this product.

So comfortable I would wear it anywhere.

Rating:*****
Because I am petite, I have had difficulty in finding a comfortable pack, UNTIL THIS ONE. I'm 5'3", and the XS version was perfect.

Neutral Reviews:

super thin fabric

Rating:***
I bought this pack for day use, skiing and hiking, but the material seems like a paper thin wind jacket. Good for lightweight but I can't imagine it would hold up to much abuse and doesn't seem at all waterproof. Unfortunately Im going to have return it.
