Searching for a small, lightweight, pack that would meet my needs. While yes the roll top is not for everyone(I was skeptical) it suits my needs for compression and expansion if needed. - I mount a phone pocket pouch on the strap. It has my wants: two side pockets, one narrow but adequate stretch panel pocket, removable waist belt, shock cord and sternum strap. Oh and I like the hook strap on the top. I would recommend this pack for anyone looking for a SMALL everyday day hiker.
Cons: Seems to hold less than its rated volume. Roll top is an acquired tasted at best. I haven't adapted to it yet and would much prefer the traditional top pocket. Pros. Light, streamlined, seemingly more durable than packs of comparable weight. I anticipate that it will come into its own during intensive bushwacking.
Light weight, durable, minimalist. Thumb loops are too small, otherwise great.
