Tried out my new pack last week in California, went on long and short hikes. The pack has multiple storage areas for snacks, phone, sunscreen and everything else you need to pack. The pack is comfortable on your body and the back panel keeps you dry. Absolutely loved it. I used the bottle holder on the hip belt and it worked amazingly well as I usually use a bladder because it’s so hard to access anything on the sides. This is not the case for this pack. Even the side pockets were easier to access than my previous packs. The material is very durable and cleans up super easy. Added bonus is the use of sustainable materials used and the ability to recycle at the end of its life. Great job Nemo!
I've been using the Persist 45L on my winter backpacking trips and It's been working really well to pack all of my nescessity. The padding is super comfortable even with heavy loads and I love that there is a lot of pockets to store all of the gear. The easy acess water bottle pocket is super handy and definetly made me drink more water. Would definitly reccomend this bag.
I was a little anxious ordering my Persist 45L backpack without having seen it in person or tried it on, I was hoping it would have the same attention to detail as other Nemo products and ordered based on that. I was not disappointed. The “wings” and padding on back of pack make it the most comfortable pack ever! At first I questioned the small metal buckle on the waist but as I used it I saw the ingenious design behind it and find it so easy to do up and undo waist belt. The small pockets are large enough to hold a modern smartphone, unheard of with other packs. With the water bottle drop pocket I don’t have to have my hiking partner fish out my water bottle for me so I don’t have to take off my pack, it is readily accessible. I have taken my pack on a few smaller adventures but looking forward to hiking with this pack this summer on a larger adventure! (Last summer I hiked almost 800 kms with a 35L pack). Can’t say enough about comfort of this pack and the comfort the wings provide.
I love this backpack! It's been comfortable on super long days and can handle a good deal of weight if you carry a lot of gear. I like it for quick overnights and mountaineering days.
