Review: Great Pack! - I bought this pack after reading many reviews. I wanted a pack enough that was big enough for a long hike but also one that did not look ridiculous to bring on a short day hike. When I came across this one I was instantly smitten. It arrived right before I was scheduled to go on a 6 mile hike the next day. The pack was lighweight, it held my snacks for the hike, my wallet, my hydroflask and polaroid camera all in the main compartment. It was nice because there is a small compartment in the front where you can put your sunglasses and it's supposed to be antiscratch. I kept my sunglasses on so I did not get to try that feature on. I also kept my hydroflask in the main big compartment even though it fits in the side mesh pocket for watter bottles I just was a bit nervous that my hydroflask would stretch out that mesh part since it was a bit of a tight squeeze. I loved this pack - it was easy to carry, it was a hot day and there was breathability on my back despite the 6 mile hike I was able to feel a nice breeze on my back carrying the pack the entire time. I would definitely recommend. Next is just buying the water reservoir for it! (it does not come with one).
Review: Best everyday UNIVERSAL day pack I’ve ever owned!!! - It is just right for an outdoor 1 day adventure such as a trip to the beach or hiking or exploring on vacation, with enough room for your lunch & two large liquid vessels of at least 1 L each, and extra jacket or a towel & flip-flops, sunscreen, hat, first aid kit, etc. For commuting, you can carry a 13 inch laptop with chargers, a notebook, etc.., plus your lunch, snacks & liquids. Light stuff jacket. It is perfect as your personal item when traveling by air, as it held my 11” MacBook Air, iPad mini 4, charging cords and mobile charger, magazine, a light jacket, travel pillow, several snacks and two liquid vessels for hot and cold drinks.. I also had a small clear bag for travel size toiletries. The small embossed 2nd pocket can hold wallet, passport, keys, lip balm, gum, mints, hand sanitizer, etc., easily. Small enough to fit anywhere, simple design, rain cover deploys in 3-5 seconds, strong design with light internal frame. Backpacks this size without an internal frame, can only hold about half as much weight. Warning: I am 6 foot 1, 220 lb. fit build, 48” chest & 34-36” waist. If you are much bigger than that, this might not be the right bag for you to wear, unless you plan to hand carry, mostly. It just fits me. Great bag I use everyday for everything!!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do the mesh pockets on the side keep water bottles in?**
A: Actually while hiking the Appalachian trail our special edition hydro flask (Appalachian trail) fell out and was damaged, breaking the seal that keeps the drinks cold. $55 instantly gone. So just be very careful because they don’t hold them in place well even the large ones

**Q: is there a attachment for one or two trecking poles ? The picture shows two poles although on the bag it seems like there is only one lower loop.Thank**
A: There are two lower loops, perfect for a pair of trekking poles.

**Q: Would this daypack provide enough protection for a 13 inch computer?**
A: It should provide pretty good protection depending on what your are doing with the pack.  It is designed to keep your contents dry, and as far as padding it would have about as much as a laptop bag.

**Q: Anyone know if this is small enough to be a personal item for air travel?**
A: Yes. I use a 30L osprey as a personal item.  So this would be much smaller.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great, simple bag that gets the job done!
*by A***X on November 26, 2023*

I bought this bag for a hot and humid climate in Asia (and later for the desert) since it features the mesh back and wire frame. It’s since been to 7 different countries (1yr in asia) and gets me through everything I need it for. Pros: 1. Great for hot climate areas. No longer worry about a sweaty, drenched back on small hikes or walking around town. 2. Tons of room. What I packed on a nearly every weekend basis for 1yr: Rain jacket, water bottles, snacks, keys, sunglasses, camera with extra lens, large portable battery, small med kit, sometimes souvenirs. 3. Really great fit and extremely comfortable. The mesh back + wire internal frame means the weight is evenly distributed. When the bag is heavy on a hike, the waste and chest straps do their job of relieving some stress and keeping the bag close to the body. 4. Durable materials. I haven’t had any issues in my 1+yr of ownership with any zippers or material issues. Cons: 1. My biggest complaint with the bag and probably the reason I give it 4 stars, it does not sit up straight when you set it down. It really doesn’t matter how you balance the weight, it will fall over. This is due to the internal metal frame so not much you can really do but lean the bag up onto something. 2. Bottle holder is not as secure as I’d like. If you bend over or get the bag past 90deg, your bottle WILL fall out. I’ve mitigated this by just keeping a carabiner attached to my bottle at all times. 3. If you’re looking for compartmentalism, maybe look for another bag since this is basically one front pouch for small things and one large pouch for everything else with a bladder holder within. 2 zipped areas but realistically, 3 compartments total.
