"great daypack for any adventure" | |
| Rating: |  |
| This is an excellent daypack for anything, whether you're using it to walk around town or bag that next peak. It easily swallows all the gear I need for a simple day hike, but I've also been able to squeeze in all the gear I need for an ultralight overnighter, which makes it my go to weekend bag. I also plan on using it when I hike up mount massive and elbert in Colorado in 2 weeks... | |

Fantastic pack! | |
| Rating: | |
| I've been looking for a good all-purpose mountain day pack for some time, and this one is excellent. No extra straps yet I've fit snowshoes, hiking poles, avalanche shovel and skis on the outside, although not all at once! At 5'7" with a very long torso, I typically fit between a medium and a large, but for this pack, the medium is perfect. No complaints at all! | |

I'm surprised to be the first one writing a review for this. It fits so well, and the pockets are so well thought out, that it makes the design behind other packs seem so rudimentary. Amazing product. | |
