I just got this pack and I’m still trying to decide if I like it or not. I like the size and design but there are a few flaws. One flaw I find is that the shoulder straps are too close together at the top of the pack, literally riding on both sides of my neck, it’s a strange and uncomfortable feeling. This is my biggest complaint and the main reason I may not end up truly loving this particular backpack. Another pocket on the front of the backpack would be great. Lastly, it feels strange that there is no hip belt, I think it comes down to personal preference with this feature.
Amazing backpack overall. Just a couple things I’d change: 1. As another reviewer mentioned, the shoulder straps come together a bit too close to the neck. It’s not noticeable when worn loosely, but when I’m hiking and or need the bag to sit securely. The fit snug, it feels awkward and slightly restrictive. 2. I’d love to see an extra internal pocket something a bit more structured. I don’t like putting my watch in the top pocket since that’s where I keep my sunglasses. That leaves me having to toss the watch loose inside the main compartment, which isn’t ideal. Otherwise, I really do love this bag, it’s very simple with 2 pockets and quite a lot of functionality especially with clips for helmets, shoes or poles. Just those two tweaks would make it perfect.
I was really excited about this bag but when it arrived it was missing the logo which is whatever but the main reason why I went with this bag is that it’s hydration system compatible. The bag I received didn’t have the opening to feed the tube through at the top. So bizarre. Returned
