By yupyup from ny on 09/14/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Easy To Load, Excess strap control, Highly Adjustable, Lightweight, Pockets extra compartmen, Removable waist Best Uses: Extended Hikes, Travel Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: love this. traveled/lived for 2 months out of this bag. it's relatively small for a bag - makes you pack only the essentials. the shoulder straps are a little unusual - they have more shape than the average backpack since they're more than just the foamy stuff. some may say that they dig into the shoulders. i didn't mind so much. pack fit my back perfectly. i'm 5'4", 150lbs.
By drivel from Ohio on 04/24/2009 Pros: Highly Adjustable, Lightweight Best Uses: Day Hikes, Travel Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: The top of the main compartment is narrower than the base, so while you can sometimes finagle a rope bag or trad rack INTO this pack, either is hellish to remove. I have this pack, and I've entirely given up carrying the rope, because even if I roll it narrow enough to get it in and out, then there is wasted space in the bottom of the pack.
By Laura from FL on 01/02/2009 Pros: Easy To Load, Highly Adjustable, Lightweight Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I plan to use this for day hiking this summer while working as camp staff.
By FLYING SQUIRREL from University Place WA on 07/18/2008 Pros: Durable, Good Back Support, Good Padding, Strong Zippers Cons: Difficult to Pack, Not Enough Compartments Best Uses: Airline Travel, Backpacking Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Good minimalist pack. Lacks a bit of compartmenting that would make this easier to use in general. Finding that one item that lies somewhere around your wadded sleeping bag and pad does get a little difficult. Had one seam on the loop that holds the belt buckle straps tear off. Luckily I had a seweing kit on hand and fixed it up; Love the Trekking Pole/Ice Axe loops
By erana from St. Louis on 07/07/2008 Pros: Durable, Strong Zippers Cons: Difficult to Pack, Not Enough Padding Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: This pack was okay but it did not have great padding. Ialso didn't like that tthere was no access to the bottom of the pack, So if I need something out of the bottom I have to unpack and repack everything!
