Incredibly comfortable—so much so that I often forgot I was even wearing it. Packed with features, it handled a heavy load with ease and never felt burdensome. I trusted it for a once-in-a-lifetime hike at The Wave in Coyote Buttes, and it exceeded expectations. My girlfriend was so impressed she ditched her own pack halfway through the trip and claimed my second one! After extended use, it’s proven to be durable, reliable, and easily one of the best backpacks I’ve owned. Never noticed I was wearing it and it let us focus on our trip, THANK YOU NEMO!
This pack is lightweight and really comfortable. I've struggled finding packs that are comfortable on my shoulders and I think I have found that in this bag. The straps don't dig in and are really cushioned, I like the adjustable chest strap and the back panel cushioning is comfortable as well. The materials are great, I got caught in the rain my first time using the water repellant exterior worked perfectly, all my stuff (including my expensive camera) were completely dry. Also like the outer clip loops! I would 100% buy this bag if they made a 50L for backpacking. My only critique is that I wish there was a smaller exterior pocket to store small things like nutrition bars/snacks. I used the small interior pocket for this but wish there was one on the front in addition to the secret key pocket.
Bought this pack to replace my super worn out REI flash pack and wow. It is *nice* - way more of an upgrade than I was expecting. Took it out for it's maiden voyage this weekend on a long day hike and was impressed by how comfortable and secure the pack felt even when carrying 3+ liters of water and all the other various day hike items (no hip belt needed!). Comfort aside, all the details of this pack are really well thought out. I'm loving the compression straps that can be moved around to fit different needs and the way the strap ends can be tucked behind the back panel. The fact that the whole pack is recyclable is extra icing on the cake (although I can't imagine needing to do that anytime soon since this bag feels bomb proof). I think my only wish would be for chest strap pockets that would fit a large phone but the side pockets work just fine for this. Overall, really glad I bought this pack and can't wait to take it out more!
Pros: beautiful, comfortable, good material Cons: hard to use sine the zip was covered. The interior is too simple, no divided pockets. Not organized. Very hard to find stuff. I feel like people who made this think a lot about how to make it look beautiful and comfortable to wear around but forgot about ease of use, the most important thing I consider when buying a backpack. If they change the interior design, I would buy it .
This is a well designed and made bag. You can tell they thought a lot about the details. The shoulder straps are comfortable and simple to adjust and the back panel is unlike any I’ve come across. The material is beefy and I like that the front of the bag is slightly reinforced so it keeps some shape, even with light loads. There is not a ton of internal organization but I don’t think a 15 liter bag needs it. I would have guessed this bag was 20-22 liters from looking at it, if you are worried about it being too small. Bravo Nemo
Sometimes I just want a small pack for food, water, a lightweight layer, and any other small items for a hike. This pack is really sweet for that - well-designed with a great balance of features and simplicity. And the materials seem really durable - I expect that I will use it for a long long time. I'm replacing another small pack that I've had for years and this pack is more comfortable and less flimsy. A note on the color. The Granite Blue looks more like a lilac (with light pink highlights) to me.
Perfect day pack. Plenty of room in the pack, great design with the internal stash pocket and the external “hidden” pocket. I love the gear loops and the bungee cords for holding things down/comoression. Very modular in a simple, minimalist way. I use it to carry my fly fishing gear right now and it’s a perfect size, and has gear loops to attach tools and accessories exactly where I want them. The small pockets in the shoulder straps are genius. 10/10
The perfect everyday pack! Just the right size for everyday use for storing your bare necessities for work, an outing around town or perfect for a light day hike. Extra room for larger water bottles on each side is a great bonus feature and a smaller pocket on top for your keys and wallet help keep them readily accessible. The fabric is very durable and keeps everything dry. Highly recommend this everyday pack.
I bought the resolve 15L a few weeks ago. I wanted something I can use for day hikes, theme parks, traveling, personal, etc. So far it hasn't disappointed. The size is perfect. The material feels durable, it's comfortable, it has two water bottle holders. If I put something heavy, I have the hip belt to provide extra support and relieve weight on my back. Don't think about it. Buy it!
This pack is the only thing I need. I use it day hiking, traveling and commuting to work. It carries well, has lots of adjustability and looks great. It is well constructed and its features are many. I love being able to carry different types of hydration bottles an/or a bladder . The pack is well made and I’m sure will serve me well for years to come. Would highly recommend!
