Read More This pack is very unconventional. It zips completely open which is great when packing, the only problem is that if you leave it somewhat unzipped and pick it up everything pours out, which is frustrating (happened to me several times in the backcountry). while it does have an inside pouch where you could theoretically put a bladder, when you actually try to use it as a camelbak, it doesn't really work. That being said, it is an extremely comfortable backpack to wear in terms of balance and padding. i've bouldered and climbed with it with no problem. I would prefer a camelbak over this for dayhikes. in reality it's somewhere like 3.5 stars -

Read More At first, its design, which is so unlike that of other packs, threw me off. Then I realized it was because this pack was just too awesome for me to initially fathom. It is laid out in an unusual way which works better than anything else I've found. This is the way packs should be made. Love it and it looks great.
Read More I was looking for a Pack that would serve as my daypack for use during a 2 week trek in Nepal. Before this i was using a Patrol 24 ski pack from The North Face. The pack had to be lighter, similar in volume and different enough to be worth buying. The North Face Patrol Pack vs Arc"terry Sebring 25 24 liters vs 25 liters 1200gm (42oz) vs 740 grams (26oz) Panel loading access vs Unzips completely So i got mine from REI last spring for a good deal. Here is my review. DESIGN : The UNIQUE feature of this bag is the way that the zipper goes around the pack in a "C / U " shaped. When fully unzipped the pack lays flat. This pack is probably the most easiest one to pack and remove stuff while on the go without having to take out all your stuff. ( see attached photos ) You can pull up the zips up sides , and the pack becomes a top-loader. Zip open the sides and the pack is like a duffle. This design can also be found on the bigger Miura 35 & 45, as well as Arc'teryx LEAF division's KHARD 30, 45 and 60. Though the Sebring is the most "pure" by design in that there are no external lashing points The bottom and front panel is lightly padded. There is a thin HDPE frame sheet on the back so the bag has some structure even when empty. Back panel is lined in *Spacermesh* The shoulder straps are thinly padded and curved to ergonomically fit most shoulders. On mine they fit well. A sternum strap is included though i almost never use it. Besides the unique zip that goes around the pack, you will notice there are grab handle straps designed on the bottom, top and the sides.It may seem superfluous but you will come to appreciate the convenience of having them especially when grabbing your bag out of the trunk of the car. BUILD QUALITY : Top notch! Admire the patterning and how the pack is put together. The interior is mostly covered by a smooth layer of thin nylon lining ( much like the inside of a formal wear jacket! . The only area where one can see the polyurethane coated nylon is if you look at the insides of side zipper pockets. ORGANISATION : There are a total of 4 zippered compartments. 2 externals on the sides. It appears flat but on the inside it balloons or flattens in use. 1 external on the top, and 1 more inside right underneath the top is another zippered pocket with a key clip. There is also a large kangaroo pocket for a water bladder as well as a clip hook to hang it. There isn't a dedicated hole for you to poke thru the hydration bladder hose. You just work around this by placing it in-between the zippers when closing the pack. COMFORT IN USE : Surprisingly, while there is no waist belt the pack is remarkably stable. Once you fitted the shoulder straps properly, the pack just hugs your back! I used this pack during my 2 week trek to Everest Base Camp in Nepal and i can say it is comfortable loaded with 15 pounds ( 7 kg ) of gear. After all, an average of 7 hours walk every day for nearly 2 weeks is a good enough test. ANNOYANCES : Arc'teryx products are well-made and this pack is without exception, a beauty . The Sebring 25 external is made out of N630p-HT nylon 6,6 plain weave.Proprietary to them. It shows colors well and has a nice texture.However, it does not seem to be durable enough. The pack has multiple scratches ( From setting the pack on granite rock during stops in Nepal). No tears yet. Just that the scratches blemish the looks of the pack. CLOSING WORDS : Overall i am very happy with this pack. It is light, comfortable and very easy to pack, Sometimes though, i wonder if i had gotten the smaller Sebring 18, would i use this pack more often than i do the Sebring 25? To me, 12-18 litres is ideal for Urban EDC use, while for trekking or hiking, a 24 -30 liter pack is preferable. HOW CAN ARC'TERYX IMPROVE THIS : 1. Use a burlier YKK size 8 zipper over a size 5 for the main zipper 2. Use a more durable material like 500 denier Cordura. I want my Arc'teryx pack to stay beautiful for a long long time! LAST WORDS :
