Fit issues
11 months ago
I wanted this pack to work out so badly. It is exactly what I was looking for, to use for day hikes while backpacking. It looks great and is so functional! But I feel it's not made for any woman with more than a B cup. I tried multiple ways but could not get it to work. It also gapped at the shoulders in a weird way. Very uncomfortable. I put about 6 pounds worth of gear into it while trying it on because that's about what I would be carrying, to see if that helped with the fit, but it didn't. I'm a size 12 and ordered the large, after measuring according to the size chart.

Brilliant ultra and scramble pack

Excellent pack for scrambling and longer runs. It’s nice to have a running vest/pack that can handle the rough terrain and still be super light and comfortable.

seemed odd but i love it

when i received this pack i was disappointed with the top closure- it seemed odd, possibly a design flaw but wanted to give it a try... i've used it throughout the summer and really like it. the top closes easily and actually seems very functional. it is comfortable and i can put tons of stuff in it. i was able recently to put it to the test in a very rainy 10k and it performed perfectly! i had my outer shell, a warm top, snack, a little bit of water, my morning's coffee cup and umbrella all on me and got to the finish line with gear dry inside and had a comfortable run. i like the durable shell vs a stretchy fabric for my larger running vest- i have had a full pack then crammed my shoes in and i did not feel like i was going to damage the pack. this pack may become my summer daypack for all kinds of treks. water bottle strap on front pocket tore loose right away but i find that i do not need them. have not carried trekking poles yet on pack... super satisfied!

Love everything about this vest/bag

Use this for short or long days on the trail. It’s comfy, sits perfectly, has amazing pockets and storage capability, fits my iPhone in the front, and seems durable. I’m 5’4 -115 pounds and fit the small. It’s perfect.

Excellent Pack

This pack is the perfect size for day hikes. I also got the carbon poles that fit it perfectly. It fits like a vest which makes it perfect for running. Love the little pockets in the front for water and phone!
