By outsider from NC on 06/10/2009 Cons: Flimsy Construction, Poor Fly Design, Poor stitching Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: My poles came with a broken elastic connector and my bag ripped when first opening the tent. Ventelation is bad. Unless you're looking for limited use, fork over more $ for a better tent that will last you and perform better.
Nice warm weather day pack. By ClimbingKatie from Maine on 06/09/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Easy To Refill, Good Water Flow, Highly Adjustable, Stable Best Uses: Commuting, Day Trips Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I wish the hydration pack held a 2 liter camelback rather than the 1 liter, however, the size of the bag is meant for more daytrips anyway. It is a very, very, comfortable and easy-to-adjust bag, and held all of the things I needed for a full day's climb.
By edruns69 from Petoskey, Mi on 05/11/2009 Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: This backpack is advertised as an hydration pack but it does not come with a bladder to put water in. Its useless!
By XR from Wyoming on 05/11/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Highly Adjustable, Stable, Tough Best Uses: Commuting, Day Trips, Extended Hikes, Travel Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Well, updated review...the pack is better than I thought. Tough, comfortable adjustable blah blah blah. Again, can buy 5 of these for the price of that "premium label" on the competition...you do the math.
Great Pack for Day Hiking By Outdoor Dabbler from Marlborough MA on 05/02/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Easy To Refill, Good Water Flow, Highly Adjustable, Stable Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This has been a great backpack for moderate to strenuous dayhikes. The hip and chest straps provided great stability during climbing and coming down steep inclines. The backpack is a great size for me and the hydration hose fit fine over my shoulder. The backpack was comfortable enough for me to carry all the water and other necessities needed for a 3-6 hour hike and I felt little or no pressure in my shoulders. Please note though that hydration hose did Not reach over my husbands shoulder, so if this is function you are looking to use you need to concider your size. The hose may not have a long enough reach for a medium to large size man but should be fine for a woman. Looking forward to using it for winter activities.

This is an awesome pack for the money. Perfect size for day use - hiking, running, for just about anything! Very comfortable and seems very durable!

By fiji from Laramie Wy on 04/13/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Highly Adjustable, Large Capacity, Stable Best Uses: Commuting, Day Trips, Extended Hikes, Travel Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I haven't used the hydration system. The questions above made it sound like it was supposed to have it. It didn't but I just wanted the capability for a hydration system I already have. I use the pack for school. It works quite well and feels distributes the weight well so my neck doesn't get messed up.
I love this pack and cant wait till summer so I can take it hiking.
By Prof. B from Kansas on 04/12/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Easy To Refill, Highly Adjustable, Large Capacity, Stable Best Uses: Commuting, Day Trips, Extended Hikes Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: If it holds up, I would go up to a 4.5 or 5, but right now, my only complaint is that if you don't fill it up, it is hard to compress down so you end up with a lot of extra pack with nothing in it. Kind of like when you grill chicken and there's a ton of extra skin. You know it's not good for you, but at the same time it's not always worth dealing with.
By Gym Runner from Boston, MA on 04/04/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Easy To Refill, Highly Adjustable Best Uses: Day Trips, Travel Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: It was between this pack and another, smaller one said to have a slightly larger capacity. That was the only reason I returned it.
