Reviewed by Firefighter Chic from Montana on Tuesday, April 02, 2013I needed a seond pack that I could use in inclement weather specific for holding a sleeping back, sleeping pad, change of clothing, basic medic gear, and a change of clothes for long days on the fire line when I need something besides my fire pack. I love that this pack has an internal frame but can also be stripped down for lighter hikes or climbs. The fabric is perfect for the abuse it will get!

Reviewed by Jswan from MN UT CO CA on Saturday, February 02, 2013I'm using it primarily for back country skiing and day trips. Great size and nice features.

Reviewed by Running in Circles from Evans, Ga. on Tuesday, January 22, 2013I have used my Rapida 35 for multiple trips. Whether it be hiking the Appalachian or simply traveling out of town. With the release of the frame (which takes about 10 seconds), creates a more universal use of the backpack. Very comfortable, even on long hikes. I rated the Rapida 35 4 stars, it would have been nice with just a little more room in the main body. Overall worth the money!
