Solid and Well Built
This pack made me realize that I didn't need all of the bells and whistles I had been paying for with other brands. HMG keeps it simple. All you need are porter water bottle holders and a versa and you're good to go

Strikingly Simple
I have been using the Summit (white) and the Stuff Pocket for about 6 months now. Great all around pack, that adapts well to most all outdoor single day adventures. So simple, yet really thought out.

Day Pack Glory
Holds everything to get me thru a day indoors or out. No fussiness just a simple roll-top that’s super light, and after a few months of wear, seems up to the job. Would definitely buy again.

Put it to the test

This little pack is tough. I wanted a lighter pack for day hikes and Canyoneering (which is notoriously rough on gear). It also requires carrying a lot of gear so the lighter the better. So far I’ve taken it in two water canyons. My gear stayed almost completely dry even after multiple swims and waterfall rappels. I wasn’t expecting it to be totally water tight but this was a great test of water resistance. I will be bringing in canyons probably until it disintegrates, which I hope is a long while. 4 stars because it has essentially no padding, something I knew when I bought it.

Would have been 5 stars had it not been for the narrow hip strap

Three weeks after it arrived, I finally got to use my summit pack on a long scramble in the Olympics - 22 miles over 14 hours at 6,200' gain. Summit of Mount Henderson. I've been waiting for a chance to use it. I got the stuff pocket with it. I like the size and weight and happy with how it carries. It might be a bit small for my shoulders, but I have found all my HMG packs a bit narrow, however all packs have compromises and I generally love the HMG packs. While the waist strap works, it's not ideal. I think the minimalist focus was taken too far in this area. I like having snacks and some essentials at the ready so used my Versa fanny pack. I would have preferred waist straps the size of the Versa. It would be less irritating and possibly the Versa could be adapted as the hip belt. Wearing a fanny pack and pack is not the best combo when needing to scramble where one is climbing/scrambling on rocks, scrunching down, etc. I really like all the daisy chains. I also wish it would have come with bungie straps like my Prism for holding an ice ax handle etc. I can add that feature, but would have been a nice addition. I'd have given it 5 stars if the hip belt was better. Sacrifice a few ounces for comfort would be my suggestion. For tomorrow's scramble I've placed the Versa on the narrow straps. I feel like I should be a HMG product tester. :) Hyperlight should also make a helmet holder similar to those made by Blue Ice.
