> 24 hourPurchased for day hikes on vacation. This was for my youngest daughter who loved the color. Hers had the most storage space of everyone. Room for plenty of snacks and emergency items. Also used as carry on for plane ride. Held all of her electronics and chargers and a sweatshirt bonus we filled it up in the airport for her to drink. Great purchase.

> 24 hourupdate: I have now used this pack four times and the stitching has not come apart, but it it obviously going to soon. It is disappointing because I always take care of my gear and never over fill the pockets. I broke down and bought an Osprey daylite plus. WOW, what a better quality backpack. This is a good pack, I am satisfied with it. This was my third pick before putting out big $$$ for a name brand which I did not want to do. I felt that none of the descriptions really met my needs to spend that kind of money. I had already returned a Teton (could not adjust the straps for my frame, they were too stiff and the chest strap would not tighten enuf). I also returned a Rumpumpak (it would not hold enough and I just didnt like it). But this one: PROS: 1. perfect size for keys, iPhone or gps, extras, lunch, sun screen, bug spray, toilet paper and stuff a small jacket in there too. 2. Bladder compartment has a reflective liner to try to keep the water cool as long as possible. 3. The straps adjust just fine, I am a female, 51, #140. The back does not sway on my back at all and does not seem to tug anywhere. 4. My back sweated some, but it was a 8 mile strenous hike, 95 degrees mostly in the sun. Overall it did well, my shirt was not drenched and i did not feel uncomfortable. Cons: 1. The bladder! Who would use a black or even green bladder is stupid. I would like to see inside to make sure it is clean and no floats. I put this one in the Goodwill and bought a Platypus (a product that I know I can trust). Plus I connected the hose to the bladder and it is WAY TOO DIFFICULT to disconnect. Life it too short. 2. There arent any attachment sites on the outside of the main pack. I fixed this by attaching those gear ties to the two straps on the side. They will work fine if I want to attach my jacket or a towel outside. My trekking poles can go into the mesh pocket and attach at the top with a gear tie. Im all set.

> 24 hourGreat little pack for day trips. Nice and expandable and can hold a good amount. We typically use it for snacks and extra clothes when we hike. Ive only used the water bladder once, but it worked great. No leaks. Pack is lightweight and comfortable. I wouldnt recommend it for an overnight trip, unless your an extremely light packer. I wont say its undoable, but it would be tight. Especially if youre some place cold and need to pack thick warm stuff. Weve used ours nearly every weekend since purchasing it and so far all the zippers work great, no rips or tears. Seems to be made of good sturdy material. I recommend it, especially for short day trips where you dont want to lug around a big pack!

> 24 hourThis is my absolute favorite Amazon purchase ever. It’s big enough to pack a change of clothes, snacks, miscellaneous emergency and first aid items, plus a full bladder of water, minimum. It has a million pockets and slots for organizing, plus a felt lined smaller pocket on top that was perfect for my cell phone. Many reviews stated that it’s not large enough, but unless you’re trying to pack for an overnight hiking trip, this is more than enough. But it’s also small enough to use for cycling/snowboarding/day use. I went on a 15 mile hike shortly after getting this bag, and of the few issues I had that day (frozen toes, mostly), the backpack was never any of them. I could hardly tell I was wearing it. The chest and waist straps are long enough for a husky man, so they are perfect over my winter gear.

> 24 hourLove this bag! I was looking for a hydration pack that would hold a few hours worth of supplies, snack, first aid kit, poo bags for my dog, water bowl for my dog, my packable jacket, flashlight, whistle...... all the necesssary things to have for a hike that last a couple of hours. This pack has plenty of space for all of that and more. Its light weight too. I did have some issue with the straps chafing under my arms when wearing just a tshirt, but after readjusting the straps (and there are plenty of adjustment points) I was able to make them more comfortable. I do not use the waist strap. I dont find it necessary. I put an ice pack in with the hydration bag and the water stayed cool for several hours. It took me a minute to figure out the bite valve actually has to be pulled upwards to work, but thats actually a nice feature. The cover for the bite valve doesnt stay on, so I had to be careful when taking the bag off an placing it on the ground. I didnt want the valve to touch the ground. Other than that, I really like this bag and Im glad I bought this and didnt spend over $100 on the name brand bag that I had been looking at.

> 24 hourThis is great, you dont have to take this off your back while you are hiking to take a sip. But there are no directions. And the reason I didnt give it five stars, even though it deserved it, because the seller didnt put any directions in there. I loved the fact that you put the nipple from the hose in your mouth and just suck down as much water as you need. I loved how absolutely cold, on a hot day, this kept everything which made me drink less than when I carried a holster around my waist with two small water bottles. This gives you far more water. The only thing most people wont like is you have to carry it like a backpack.

> 24 hourI like backpacks. I just love how functional they are. Ive bought a ton of them over the years. This has to be one of the best ones Ive ever had. It reminds me a bit of Swiss Gear which is my favorite backpack brand. It was challenging trying to find something small but still had a lot of storage. But I found it!

> 24 hourHappy enough, but 50 cents of more padding could have made a night and day difference. Not only is the padding really thin but its also the cheapest type of padding that crunches a lot and doesnt really work so well. However the material quality is decent. so Ill keep it I guess.
