"This pack just simply checks all the boxes. It’s so incredibly light and from fitting that you forget it’s on your back! Ample pockets that are easily accessible and hold more than you would think. Well done BD!"
"This pack is perfect for long days in the mountains. It has ample space for essentials, simple design with pockets in the right places, and is comfortable to wear for many hours. The way it fits feels running vest inspired, and I've found I can run with it comfortably at an easy pace with minimal sway and bounce - at least compared to my previous day packs. This makes it a great tool for big days in the mountains where I want to push my pace or cover a long distance, but need way more storage space than a tiny running pack provides, or need to carry an ice axe or a helmet. The stretchy pocket on the shoulder strap fits a phone, a small softflask, or bear spray."
"I needed a new pack that had enough space and fit well. This one does the trick for me and even includes a rain cover that I apparently overlooked in the product details before ordering. Great pack so far."
"Comfortable, easy access , durable, go to bag"
"I bough this backpack before going on a trip to New Mexico and Southern Colorado and it has been great for all my long hikes!"
"I personally think this is the perfect day pack backpack and couldn't be happier with it. I wanted something that I could fit under my seat on the plane but still handle a good day's hike and it does all of that and more. I love the adjustable cord that holds a water tube secure on the strap, the other strap front facing pocket to put a phone in for easy in/out removal, the light weight, the built in rain cover, I could go on. It did everything I needed it to on a 7 day Alaska trip."
"Great pack, comfortable with a day or two of gear. Fits well (I am 6. ft and 210) i really the pocket on the shoulder strap- i have used it for bear spray and electrolyte storage."
"What a great pack! Checks all the boxes and is great looking too! Just a little too large for “under the seat” for airplane travel so had to get the 20 liter version."
"This pack has a great design and is light weight as well. The shove it pocket holds a lot, as do the side pockets. I like having a lid so that I have access to things I need quickly. The adjustable straps are a plus, given my uneven shoulders."
"The trail vista pack is really well designed. The material is light but durable. I really like the deep hip pockets and shoulder pocket. It’s a comfortable pack for long days on trail."
