Lowe Alpine Trek Pod 17+5 Backpack

The bag has lots of pockets. They might be too small if you have big hands. There is a zipper to make the bag bigger or smaller depending on what you need. Good bag for being a tourist because lots of small pockets to put things in it and keep things organized.

Have been looking for a backpack for travel that is big enough to be useful, with security features but not too big. Lowe Alpine makes quality products.

I bought this pack b/c I was looking for a little smaller day pack with less straps and zippers than the one I had been using. This is great so far. I used it while attending the USA Pro Cycling Challenge. It was perfect! I was able to carry 70 oz bladder and all the gear and food I needed to make it through the day. Plus, I really loved the security compartment stowing my wallet. It really eased my mind while wondering through such an intense crowd of people.

I recently used this backpack hiking in the mountains and on lower trails by lakes in Colorado. It is just the right size and has enough compartments. I especially like the straps in front and back that pull across and help keep it secure on your body. And I love the color! Darlene
