“Sizeable useful pack with some drawbacks”

“I've been using this pack for elk hunting for a couple weeks now. I have found it to be adequate in size for all the gear and clothes I take on a day trip. One thing that annoys me is how difficult and noisy the zippers are. Perhaps that will improve with time. With the water bottles it is a bit wider than I like and I find myself brushing the sides quite often when hiking through the thick brush. Also, the included light did not work when I received the pack, but rather than waste time for an exchange I spent a couple bucks and replaced the batteries. The light is poorly designed and was constantly coming on even when the bag was not opened. I removed the little magnet that activates it when you open the bag and now it is manually controlled only. I find this works better and should help the battery life.”
