5 Stars
Just the absolute best pack I’ve ever had. Incredible quality!
Love it!
Works as it should. It's a game changer for ultra hiking and overall general use! Love it! However, I'm concerned with the shoulder stitching on the left side. Hopefully it holds up fine. We'll see.
Hyperlight pack
Love my pack! Easy to pack and carry! So lightweight, Thank you!
Great for the jungle
I just returned from using this pack for a month in the humid Caribbean. It was great! I loved the waterproof materials I. The random rain squalls, and it stayed pretty sand free at the beach. The straps and belt were comfortable even with a full load.
