Reviews

The Ultimate Daypack

"I bought this pack because I was sick of heading out for the day with a 20+ liter pack with almost nothing in it. Too much weight and a mostly empty bag doesn’t work well. This pack is perfect. Fits lunch, layers, and poles. Two bottles up front and maybe a 2L bag in the back if I’m out for more than an afternoon and I’m good to go."

— Matt L. (5/5)

Great backpack

"Best backpack for the mountains. Could not have a better bag!"

— Marlene F. (5/5)

Fast Packing the Sierras

"I used this pack to trail a 3 day fast pack on the Rae Lakes Loop via Kearsage pass. The pack provided just enough space to accommodate all of my lightweight gear. The only issue I had was that it was difficult to get the smallest bear can (required item) through the pack opening into the pack. It could have a half centimeter larger opening or a zipper to accommodate easy entry or larger items. Otherwise, the pack performed really well even loaded with 15 pounds."

Super Light, But 3 Things

"This pack was used for my quick run on the Timberline Trail. It fit my Backcountry Bivvy and few other pieces of gear - Perfectly! I'd change: the hydration bladder sleeve access to outside. In this pack you have open the top and pull the bladder out of the inside sleeve. I'd love to see it have an outside access to the bladder sleeve. Secondly, the zippered pocket on the left side of the "vest" is not large enough for most mobile phones. Enlarge this pocket and it's perfect. Lastly, the front collapsible bottle pockets are way narrow. I use the Hydrapack 500mL soft flasks and they're nearly impossible to fit in the pockets when they're full. I used my bottles and each time I'd wrestle with them to shove them in the pockets after I'd fill them trailside. Make them just a tad bigger. . ."

Amazing day pack

"Got this to be a shorter trail run, summer hiking/fast packing bag. It also doubled as a great summit pack. Folds up small and can disappear into your bag for when you’re doing longer backpacking trips."

— Douglas M. (5/5)

Love this bag!

"This bag is the best! I’ve worn it up several alpine peaks and it works great, light weight, and is able to hold a lot of gear!"

— Diggity D. (5/5)

"Really light and packable fits body well."

— Camron V. (5/5)

Great backpack

"Great backpack for the price. It's lightweight, comfortable, and has plenty of room for water, snacks, and an extra layer. The fit is secure and doesn't bounce around much on the trail, the quality is excellent. Very happy with this purchase."

— Rui Z. (5/5)
