Pack gets better with each use
I bought this pack because it is a lightweight, 60L and didn't cost hundreds of dollars. I honestly wasn't expecting more than a basic pack, and I have been surprised more than once with it. First off, it will hold everything you need for 1-3 days, maybe more. The side pockets are huge, and the belt has plenty of storage too. The lid has zippered pockets on both the outside and inside, which is great for storing small items. There's also a sleeve for a hydration bladder inside, if you are into that. There is only one compartment, so you don't have a special place to store your sleeping bag. However, there is a zipper at the bottom which will allow you to access things at the bottom of the pack without dumping everything out, so it's practically just as good. There are straps at the bottom of the pack for your pad or tent, or whatever you like to put on the bottom of your pack. It took me a couple of tries to realize the straps are longer than they look, they are just tucked into the bottom of the pack. There is an attached rain cover as well, which seems to be pretty sturdy. And, there are load lifter straps on the shoulders to help cinch down the fit. Also, as a fun added bonus there is a whistle on the buckle of the chest strap which sounds almost exactly like a Marmot. So, you know, be aware if you use it you might summon search and rescue or you might be seducing nearby wildlife. Either way, it's a cool addition to the pack. The material seems to be pretty sturdy as well, I scraped it along some rocks without any damage. The only issues I have with the pack are the rain cover and the size of the hip belt. The rain cover is great, but it is shockingly bulky when hidden away. The hip belt seems to be an issue with a lot of people. I'm not a skinny guy by any means, but the large is still a little too big for me. I have the belt tightened all the way down and it's just barely holding snug against my hips. And the padding is pretty wide, which takes some getting used to. Overall though, this is a great pack with a lot of features, while also being lightweight and rugged.
Yes, I recommend this product.
