This is my second pack of this style. My only complaint is the unisex fit. My muscular swimmer daughter took my first one as her day bag on hike across Australia and Indonesia. Mine has been on 20 mile hikes with full survival gear in the mountains of New Mexico and on a hiking expedition across the Greek islands with REI adventures for two weeks. The back cools much better than expected. I prefer a hydration pack and this one comes with a 100 oz blatter. It has good straps and storage and is well made. It doesn’t fit as well as my big Gregory backpack but it serves it’s purpose.
I've hiked for 40 years, but this is my first hydration pack, bought because I've returned to leading day hike groups and increasing length and severity of day hikes. After isolating my "must have" features (padded straps, wider waist belt, functionality, cycle & hike use) this became the best price point selection. I was disappointed by the utter lack of user information and care instructions it came with, though, and that the web site is not intuitive at all for such. Lastly, the user review page limits Pro & Con entries to a single preselected (and one misspelled) word for each. The biggest "con" is actually lack of care information.
Wow. Having hiked with generic bladders in bags that have basic accommodations for it, this is a welcome change. First off, it is comfortable and distributes weight beautifully. There was a noticeable difference in regards to how my back felt carrying it and post-hike. It has a decent amount of room too for your basic day hike. Worth every penny.
I bought this pack yesterday and it is already exceeding expectations. I work as a adventure guide in Alaska and got this bag to fit all the necessities of my job. It easily fit a large first aid kit, rain gear, bike repair kit, food for the day, hydration pack, radio, bear spray, light layers, and small items in the front pouch. All that loaded on me, while riding a bike, through a mountain pass and I never felt uncomfortable or warm on my back. The backpack really does what it says it will do and do it well. The compression straps work well to eliminate the excess space when using equipment from the pack. Hip belt pocket is a bit small, but I'm glad it is there, it will fit a compass and map. Hip belt is comfortable and fits small waists like mine (29" waist). Feel confident in your purchase and enjoy more time outside.
While it's fully functional and has everything thought through it seems, well overly complicated with far to much structure for my taste for small pack. All the foam and structure seem like they are for a much larger and heavier pack crammed into a small pack just to feature it up but in the end it's cumbersome and awkward for me to use.
I bought this within the past month and used it yesterday to climb Rattlesnake Ledge in WA State. Although it worked, it took a long time for me to understand how to get the water flowing.
