Great Pack for big Mountain Days where you need more storage
I have been pleasantly surprised with this pack. I had one of the first 15L versions back in 2018, and this is worlds better. I can barely squeeze a helmet in a mostly empty pack, which is pretty neat. My biggest complaint, which is inherent in this pack design, is it doesn't run nearly as well as a Salomon adv or similar vest. For big mountain days its great because you aren't running as fast or as consistently. Some improvements I would love to see are a full length side zipper so you don't have to undo the top every time you need something, and adding a mesh pocket on the back or bottom of the pack like the larger version has would be very nice. Sizing is good, I am 6'4 200 and have a large.

Pretty excellent
I've been on a few long runs now. I am 196cm and the large size fits pretty well. I got two of the 500ml Distance flasks and the work well with the pack, which has two accommodating side pockets. The pack sits well without any motion, which makes it well suited for trail runs.
