A well made pack with all the right features for a daypack.
I ordered this pack a while ago, but only just had the chance to use it. I recently moved away from the Sierras, so I'm mostly day hiking. I wanted a nice pack that is made for hiking, not one that is made for computers, and books. I have a Hyperlite Awning, so I was aware of the quality of their products, and this pack is of the same quality. I wanted to ability to carry my layers on the outside of the pack, along with a couple of water bottles. It looks like an ice axe would strap on nicely, as well as crampons, if they were needed. There is a pocket for internal water, as well. The zipper looks very snug, and waterproof, although I haven't used it in the rain yet, All things considered, this was just the pack I was looking for, and I expect it to be with me for a long time.
Great Daypack
I've only used it a couple of times but perfect so far.
EDC and day hikes
Very happy with this purchase!
Perfect for me
Just been using this around town as my everyday bag and I love it. its the perfect size and fit. For comparison on the inner pocket, a 2020 15" MacBook Pro does not fit. it's very close but just not quite. Construction is top notch as expected.
I'm impressed
So, this thing was not inexpensive but you (generally) get what you pay for. No exception here. Design has clearly been thought through with interesting details here and there. Like the shoulder straps sit on your chest perfectly when the upper cross belt is connected. The water bottle side pocket is perfectly sized. The materials are high quality and the zippers are top shelf. It rides very comfortably. Look forward to a good rainy field test.
