Stoked on this bag!
1 year ago
Just got this thing in the mail and it's even better than I anticipated! The CCubed feels AMAZING and the pack is super comfortable even with a load. Stoked to use this for short backpacking trips and day hikes (the first of which will be this weekend!). You can tell that it was thoughtfully designed. I love the modular straps. Seems to balance features well vs. being overly complex. Everything feels really sturdy and premium. If I could change one thing I'd make the shoulder strap pockets just a little stretchy (they aren't stretchy at all atm). The Smokey Olive color looks even better in person than anticipated too! Thanks!

So little time (so far), so many thoughts
1 year ago
Got this in the mail yesterday based on online reviews and a YouTube video review on the 25 L version (and being insufficiently enthused after checking out about half a dozen 25-40 L daypacks at my local REI to buy something else). It is new enough on the market that the REI staffer I spoke to in suburban Chicago in late May 2024 wasn't even aware that the product existed. I plan to use it for day hikes, commuter bag, and general EDC, hopefully as a worthy successor to mky much-loved REI Lookout 40 from days of yore. I was able to use it as my commuter bag today. So far, I like a lot of the features, and am really excited to try it out on trail in two days. In the interim, I thought I'd provide a bit of "first thoughts" feedback. - I need to get used to the rather narrow hipbelt. I suspect long term it will be fine, but it's much smaller than I am accustomed to. (My fingers don't yet have the muscle memory to remember just how close together they need to be to tighten the belt and unbuckle the narrow clip.) - The hipbelt pockets are... odd. There's no closure at the top and the wings of the belt that they are mounted on are rather short. As such, I'm a little concerned that I'll lose something key, like a compass, vital/favorite snack, or knife, if I store such in these hipbelt pockets. For now, I'm probably going to limit what I put there to items the size of a stick of lip balm. - The shock cord and hook that serves as an internal compression strap is pretty nice, but not quite perfect. It is, of course, right up against the hydration sleeve and works well enough, and I love how it's easy to access from the size zipper. I do have two criticisms: a) the hook opening is very narrow and was a little difficult to get around the internal piece of daisy chain ("easy access" is only part of "easy to use") and b) I kinda wish it were about half an inch lower, as it barely was able to secure my Macbook Air that was resting on top of a jacket. - The sternum strap is strangely floppier than I'm accustomed to. This will probably be a non-issue given time, but for now it's just a bit weird. - The brain is definitely the biggest con at this point. Given the way the brain is secured to the fabric at the top of the back panel, if both a) the pack is not sufficiently full from front-to-back near the top of the main pouch and b) the brain is fairly full (especially if it contains denser objects, such as a laptop power cable or decent-sized power bank battery), it does not seem possible to keep the brain from falling down the front of the pack and exposing the opening of the main pack. Even pulling the two straps that secure the brain to the top of the pack to the point that the strap cannot be pulled any tighter through the tri-glides is insufficient to keep the brain from sliding down the pack's front. To me, this is worth taking off half a star despite the short time I've owned the pack, as there's going to be plenty of times that I want to carry less than a 2/3 or 3/4 full pack and would absent-mindedly put a couple heavier things (maybe a sandwich or an apple) in the brain. (I have had a similar problem with my 80 L REI pack's brain, but that's not a daypack and thus stands to reason that the pack will tend to be more full with either luxury items or more gear/consumables on longer trips.) The brain's zipper moves smoothly, but given its placement on the pack's rear side and the tendency thus far for the brain to fall down (and thus angling the zipper parallel to the ground with its flap acting as an upwardly exposed basin rather than a downward facing guard that covers the zipper), I worry about rain entering here. I will definitely need to play around with some paracord or shock cord to help prevent the brain from slipping down, but it may ultimately come at the sad, sad cost of the pack's clean aesthetic. - The shoulder strap pockets seem to be insufficiently stretchy or capacious to be much use except for something like a snack (even after unsnapping the one snap). - The side pockets on the main pack body are cool, but I wish they were angled so it would be easier to pull out (and re-stow) a water bottle. It's a little odd that a 35 L pack that's marketed as a larger daypack wouldn't have easy-reach pockets for taller water bottles (e.g. Smartwater, or 1 or 1.5 L Nalgene). - I knew this going in, but for a larger daypack, I'd prefer to have bottom straps (or bottom pocket) and a large stretch front shove-style pocket. - I love the adaptability of the shock cord compression straps, and that they can be used to secure some items in the side pockets (though this latter point makes me think that this pack is partly intended to stretch into an odd slot as a luxury-weight pack for lightweight or UL overnights). - The internal zip pocket is perfectly placed and aligns with the main side zipper. It took me a minute to figure this out at first blush (having seen it through the top cinch opening), but after I made the connection to the alignment with the side zipper, it totally made sense. - I'm up and down on the color, and the other color choice. There's some disagreement in at least one video review as to whether the main fabric is green or grey... it straddles the line, in my opinion, but it also mediates the dividing line between unattractive and attractive. - The shoulder straps are comfortable so far (about 15 lbs in commuting weight), and are nice and wide. The padding is billed as being a wicking material. That is as may be, but don't wear the pack with a cotton dress shirt and cotton undershirt (aka office base layer?) on a muggy Chicago summer day and expect to stay dry. See above comment about being excited to try it on trail for realsies. - The load lifters are a nice touch in theory, but I've not had enough in the pack to make them actually serve their purpose in a notable manner. I plan to update this review once I have more miles on this pack; in the meantime, I hope this is helpful to someone.

Nice looking pack with some cool features
1 year ago
Have used the pack twice now, one easy hike and one a little more rugged...going to use it on a high peak bushwhack in the morning. I love the color and look of the pack. I really like the moveable bungees. I can see these coming in very handy to strap snowshoes to the pack in winter. It's a top loading pack, but the full length zipper down one side makes for easy access. The straps and padding are comfortable. We'll see how well they hold up, but then again foam, which these are not, isn't exactly known for lasting forever. The belts/buckles are minimalist but if they hold up, that won't be a problem. The brain is a decent size. The hip and shoulder strap pockets are too small to carry more than a small snack (think of some of the thinner cereal bars). I couldn't get my glasses into the shoulder pockets without worrying about crushing them. The unzippered hipbelt pockets did work for the small snack, but I wouldn't store anything that you can't afford to lose in any of the external pockets, with the exception of the externally accessed security pocket which was convenient for wallet and keys. I was going to give a ding for un-adjustable sternum strap until I realized that I had overlooked how the adjustment works. Rather than sliding up and down a rail, like with some packs, you remove the strap and re-insert the anchors at the ends in another attachment slot in the ribbon lining the shoulder straps; just be careful to make sure both sides line up when you move the straps. This works well enough, although you cannot adjust it on the fly. To sum up, an innovative pack; not perfect, but I like it.

So far so good

I purchased the Men 35L Revolve Daypack recently and I like it so far. I have purchased the 25L as well and the 35L has some features such as the longer hip strap that allows for more cushion that I really like. The amount of storage seems to be good but lacking pockets as it is nice to have the option of stuffing smaller things in a secured area inside the pack or on the outside. The cardboard on the outside does feel like it can break easily and I do hope it will last. The straps adjustability is a great feature and there is a lot of cushioning for the shoulder straps that feels more comfortable. It also held up in the rain which is a helpful feature without a rainproof cover. Overall seems good so far but some improvements would make it great.

Great, Sustainable Day Pack
1 week ago
I bought this pack a little over a month or so ago to support my dispersed camping setup. I love the main big bucket pocket, and the simplicity of the pack. I use packing cubes for clothing, and there was plenty of space to fit my hammock, hammock quilt, sleeping bag liner & straps. I am also able to strap my Nemo switchback sleeping pad using the loops on the bottom of the pack. It's a compact, lightweight setup, and I look forward to using it on day hikes and nights away through the end of summer and hunting season.

Great Daypack
1 year ago
I've used this backpack for multiple purposes. It is stylish enough to use as my office bag with two MacBook Pros and accessories in it as well as a day pack for hiking with my dogs. The adjustability is amazing and no matter the weight I've put in it it takes it no problem and gets it off my shoulders and onto the waist belt where it needs to go. If I could change one thing it would be a stiffer bottom but that's only when used as an office bag. If being used to hike I have enough in it to pack it properly.

Covers all essential bases for a daypack…plus

The roomy 35L is adjustable out of the gate. I have a long torso and need 21 (large in most brands) but I’m a medium otherwise. The pack is well thought out with an outside accessible pocket for quick items and internal hydration bladder sleeve and security stash pocket. I like the slim waist band pockets and also the side zipper to access an item quickly on top of it being a traditional top load pack. Ready to put some miles on this pack and see how well it sustains on the trails!

Great Pack with fabrics of the future!!
1 year ago
The fabrics and build of the pack are amazing. I own tons of different backpacks and it stands out. I mainly use it for airline travel and I went with the Resolve over the Vantage due to it being bigger and having a hip belt. I am a huge fan of hip belts running through airports. Vantage is set up more for travel and I would like to see a 35L Vantage with a hip belt in the future.

Great, simple pack
2 weeks ago
The pack is super light, but also very study. Not bulky, but also very spacious. It’s pretty basic, w/o a lot of features or pockets, but it does the job. The hip belt is study, w/o being oversized. Only thing missing is that I wish there was a good exterior pocket or two but quick access to items like snacks or an extra layer.

Great quality
1 year ago
This is my first pack from Nemo. I am initially impressed by the quality of the materials, and the fit and finish. The pack fits me well being 6' 3" tall. While I don't have many miles on it yet, overall I like the organization of it, how it's laid out, and the compression cords. The shoulder straps are very comfortable.
