Perfect for active student
By ErinS from Casper, WY on 7/8/2008
Pros:
Durable, Easy to Pack, Good Back Support, Good fit, Good Padding, Good support, Lightweight, Roomy, Strong Zippers
Best Uses:
Airline Travel, Backpacking, Camping, cycling, Weekend Trips
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
What Is Your Gear Style:
Minimalist
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I've been looking for a hydration pack that was roomy enough to carry school books in and comfortable enough to cycle with, as I'm a student and bike almost everywhere. I just got this today so we'll see about the long-haul, but I was impressed with the amount of space, number of pockets, size of the hydration-well pocket, construction, etc. I rode with it today also, and it has great suspension. It didn't really shift at all and was very comfortable. The straps are narrow enough that I didn't feel like I was wearing a man's pack and I was able to put my water, food, hoodie, extra bottle, dayplanner and school supplies inside without cramming. I'll be putting books in tomorrow and leaving some of the other stuff out so it'll change a little, but the pack felt comfortable even though it was full. I'm really impressed and I'm hoping to get several years of full use from this backpack.
Glad I bought this backpack

By Nancy from New Cumberland on 6/13/2008
Pros:
Easy to Pack, Good Back Support, Good Padding
Best Uses:
Airline Travel, Backpacking, Camping
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
What Is Your Gear Style:
Comfort Driven
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I do not like to carry a lot and I do like comfort, so this bag is great. Also, I am short and this pack fit me. I had to cinch it the whole way down to fit me, but the shoulder straps were angled so that they did not rub my neck as other bags have done. I like having one big compartment to put most of my "stuff" into.

By trail stomper from Coeur d' Alene, ID on 5/7/2008
Pros:
Durable, Easy to Pack, Good Back Support, Good Padding, Holds a whole lot
Best Uses:
Backpacking, Packing my books around, Short Travel, Weekend Trips
Describe Yourself:
Avid Adventurer
What Is Your Gear Style:
Comfort Driven
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought a Kelty (1000) about 5 years ago and took it all over Europe, through the mountains, and more, so I was confident in buying another one. If you're looking for a pack with tons of storage space and great support, this is the one for you. It would easily accomidate any weekend trip (or something week-long, if you're a minimalist). The only disadvantage is that the support straps on the waste are a little bulky when you're not using them.

By Tay from MT on 12/5/2007

Comfortable, Good Padding, Highly Adjustable, Large Capacity
Cons:
Hoping the zippers last

Describe Yourself:
Avid Adventurer
What Is Your Gear Style:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I love this pack - Have purchased 3 of them. Only complaint is the zippers blow out before the pack does! Hopefully the zippers are more durable!!! Have used backcountry skiing, hiking the Na Pali Coast, hauling text books, and summers working and camping out of this pack. Plenty of room for day at school to an extended weekend campout. Excited about trying a "womens" fit.
By Tiffany from Ft Myers, FL on 10/11/2007
Pros:
Comfortable, Highly Adjustable
Best Uses:
Day Hikes, Light Loads, Travel
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I've used this on a few day hikes and really like it. My water pack stays cool and I really love the side mesh pockets that I can reach back and quickly grab something out of (like a treat for my dog or bug spray). Its nice to have little things within easy reach and not have my pockets full! Its also very comfortable - even when packed to the brim.
