Big fan of this pack!

Recently used this pack on a late spring backcountry ski day trip and it performed flawlessly. Love how lightweight and minimal it is without missing key technical and comfort features. I really appreciated the daisy chain lash points to strap my skis securely to the pack during my ascent (something not all multi use packs have these days). Perfect pack for long day trips or 1-2 night trips.

Perfect 3-5 Day Pack

Major upgrade over my 32L Ditch Rider. This 28L pack fits everything the 32L pack fit and more with all the new functional features. The running harness is amazing too, distributes the weight much better than the Ditch Rider does. The pockets on the front of harness straps are hugely appreciated. About time it came with included rainfly too.

Great UL pack

I use this for day hikes and short overnights. Its extremely light weight, yet seems like it will have decent durability. The only complaint is that the straps are basically shoe laces, so I would predict them to be the first to fail. Overall, good product

Comfortable and light

This pack is great for day hikes. Lightweight and plenty of outside storage if you need to carry a few more layers in the spring and fall. The straps and chest system are very comfortable too.
