Light and tough

Rating:****
I bought this pack because of commuting to work and school. It was large enough to carry all my school books yet small and secure so it moved very well when I would hammer down and make sharp turns. definitely good for commuting and long journeys when i needed to carry a bunch of things.

A lot of room

Rating:****
Although the pack can be a little big for running (no problem for biking), it is nice to have the extra room for keys, wallet and cellphone. Just don't fill it up all the way with water if it is too heavy/bulky. [...]

Other Reviews:

"This bag is really flexible. It has enough organization options for me to use the bag to hold my lunch, a book, my usual handbag stuff, and still have room. I also use it specifically when I go hiking and find that the straps are so comfortable and my back really does stay drier than with my previous bag as I'm running around in the woods. I love the green color, too."

"The Kahuna 70 is a great bag in every way except it is priced too high and the water drinking tube freezes up too easily. Even when you blow the contents of the tube back into the bag a few drops stay in the drinking end of the tube and freeze."
Anonymous Customer from Sequim, WA at eBags.com on 02/28/2007
"This is a great pack! I use it while mountain biking. The pockets are great for keeping all of my essential trail gear organized. My only complaint is the day after I bought it, I saw it at Dicks Sporting Goods for $30. I paid $56."
Anonymous Customer from Royal Oak, MI at eBags.com on 08/25/2009
"This Kahuna pack was great. Used it on vacation. Set up very nice. Thinking of getting a second one."
Jim from Cedar Falls, IA at eBags.com on 08/27/2008
"Great price and backpack! We use it on the weekends for hiking. It's great for day trips."
