Perfect for Half Dome

Rating:*****
I got this day pack because I was going with some friends to hike Half Dome here in Yosemite (California). It turned out to be an absolutely perfect pack for the trip (which ended up being a 16 mile, 13 hour round trip).

I bought it online, so didn't have a chance to try it on or anything, which I knew was a gamble. I'm tall (6'4") and so when I tried the pack on (with no load) and it stopped half way down my back, I was really concerned that the base of the back frame would dig into my lower back and make it completely unwearable. That all changed as soon as I loaded it up, and it settled down to be a very comfortable pack.

It's a good size for day hikes with plenty of space internally (and LOTS of small pockets for bits and pieces). The built in bladder is a good size, and I really liked the magnetic mouthpiece that's easy to grab-drink-release.

The "external" pocket was nice for cramming dirty/wet bits in (e.g jacket/socks) that I didn't want in amongst my other items, and the reflector strip at the bottom doubled as a good place to hang my gloves from a carabiner.

All in all, I'm very happy with this day pack and am looking forward to taking it on some more short hikes around the Bay Area and beyond.

Awesome pack!

Rating:*****
Received this pack as a gift and was put to test when we hiked the Zion Narrows last weekend. Great hydration pack--worked really well during the entire hike. The hydration system worked without really well and the magnetic feature on the mouthpiece came in really handy. It's roomy with plenty of pockets and it kept all of my stuff dry inside while walking in chest deep waters, including my DSLR. My only complaint would be the fit since I'm short (5'5"), but not really the pack's problem but mine. Overall, great pack for day hikes!

Great Daypack

Rating:*****
I own an earlier model of this pack, and it is a great daypack. I've taken it on foot up 14ers (has room for water, food, layers and other gear), but I mostly use it for long day hikes and bike rides. It holds plenty of water for 4-6 hours of activity in warm weather. My only complaint is that the bite-valve covers wear out quickly, but those can be ordered separately, and cheaply, in pairs through REI.
