Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I use this pack when I ride my bicycle to work and back home. It rained on me one day and I had a chance to use the the rain cover. It pulled out easily, fit perfect and kept everything dry. I store my clothes (jeans,t-shirt,long sleeve shirt, socks & underwear) as well as my coffee mug and lunch in the main compartment when I commute. There are 2 mesh side pockets, two small zipper pockets, & one medium sized zipper pocket that come in handy as well. The pack is light weight and has great padded shoulder straps and backside. It also has a sturdy frame that makes it a rugged pack. The valve on the hydration bladder is a bite down valve and can easily be replaced with an open/closed valve. The bladder itself is made of a thin material, and has it's own compartment that can be zippered up/down and/or removed. I hope this pack is long lasting, that it yet to be determined, for I've only had it 1 week since writing this.
