Excellent lightweight pack

This was the perfect bag for my needs - I spent two weeks on walking trails in the UK and needed a small lightweight bag that could fit the necessities for a full day on the trail. I was able to easily fit a large water bottle, first aid kit, rain jacket, kindle, and snacks - and could squeeze in a fleece vest if packed well. The side pockets were great for easy access to my sunscreen and the sunglasses loop came in handy. My favorite feature is how lightweight it was - it even packed flat in my larger 35L bag! Highly recommend.

Sturdy and adjustable backpack but a little small

It is a little small as a day pack. Water bottles barley fit in the side pockets. I wish there was a small from pocket as well. Otherwise, it is a sturdy backpack and it is adjustable to any size person.

Great little pack

2 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a nice backpack . It’s not huge but can fit a nice amount of things in it , it has a little pocket up top I didn’t realize until today lol . Also has emergency instructions and basic first aid survival stuff printed on the little bag part on the inside . A drink pocket on each side and one divider inside the bag so 2 separate spaces . The straps are nice and feel like they will last a long time and it has the straps you can snap together around your back in the middle and on the lower part . The color is a beautiful grey turquoise and I love it , I have a matching eyeshadow and nail polish . It’s been super handy

Yes , I recommend this product

Great smaller sized pack for cycling

10 months ago

I absolutely love this pack for cycling. I was a bit concerned because some reviews said it was small, or better for a smaller frame. I'm 5'11" and 195 lbs with broad shoulders and this fits me just fine. It's a perfect pack that allows me to stow a few tools, a spare tube, some snacks, and two alternate layers while I'm out cycling for 2-3 hours in Monterey County, CA (where you always need to carry layers.) The mesh backing really helps keep me cool. Quality construction. Very comfortable. No complaints. Have been using this for 11 months, love it, and would purchase again.

Perfect mid-size day-pack

4 months ago

Love this baby. I got it in yellow for visibility in case I want to cycle or run. Fits everything I need well including harness, water, snacks. Perfect for crag, gym, walk, run, cycling. Deuter is always reliable. Has a nice key pocket at the top with clip.

Depends on your body frame whether you’ll like it.

While this backpack is constructed with great versatility my petite stature doesn’t fit it. I’m 4’11”. Meant for someone several inches taller than me.

Comfortable and convenient

2 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this bag so far, I’ve taken it on a few in/out day hikes and it’s been great. The straps are super comfortable and offer enough cushion to prevent chaffing on my neck and shoulders. The chest strap is wide enough and offers great stabilization. The bag interior is large enough to accommodate a water bladder system if you need to or just a few snacks and a good water canteen. Color scheme is great too!

Small backpack for larger chested people

1 year ago

Backpack is definitely light and cute but is for someone who is a size 40 chess and hot. It is to lose. You have to be about 150 pounds or 40 to 42 chest for this to fit. Returnong. The front is barely adjustable.

well made and super comfy

2 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great daypack. It is super light and comfortable to wear. It's the perfect size for a day hike or a trail run. There's plenty of room for the essentials without any unneeded bulk. All the materials and construction feel very high quality and sturdy. Even though this is a small pack, it is one of the best made backpacks we've used (and we have quite the collection.)

High quality backpack!

2 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lightweight backpack. Not too many pockets to put things in but I think for a 5 hours of hiking this size of the backpack is suitable. The strap has a soft cushion so it's very comfortable to wear for a long hike. Have enough room to place energy bars, a minimal emergency kit, and a lightweight jacket. Easily fit 2 water of bottles on the side pockets. Highly recommend it!
