Great value but didn't work for me
By SAT from CA on 6/30/2008
Pros:
Comfortable, Highly Adjustable, Large Capacity, Many zip compartments
Cons:
Leaky Valve, Too tall
Best Uses:
Extended Hikes, Travel
Describe Yourself:
Avid Adventurer
What Is Your Gear Style:
Comfort Driven
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This pack is nicely padded and fits my bike commuting stuff, but it's just a hair too tall for me - the back of my helmet clunks into it and it slightly constrains my head from turning to check traffic. I am sticking with my REI Bookpacker Plus or the large REI Alpine 35 Plus. I bought the Backflo for the hydration insert baggie, which is the same size as the Camelback classic. But, as another reviewer said, the mouthpiece does drip, even when closed. Replacing it would probably fix this. If I was taller, I would keep this pack. It's got enough going for it!

Pros:
Comfortable, Large Capacity
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
What Is Your Gear Style:
Minimalist
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Did not mention the built in Rain fly, or the removable "pocket" that clips inside.
Should mention it is top loading only large main compartment and zip up hydration pocket in main compartment

Pros:
Comfortable, Highly Adjustable
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: I bought this to take on my bike when I commute to work, the first day I had it the mouth piece leaked all over me. I had to go to a outdoor recreational store to buy a different hydrolock. Other than that the cargo space is good and it is comfortable. I would definitely get a spare hydrolock.
