Nice large sports bag! Separate pockets for shoes, laptop, and other gear. Wide pocket that opens to the front and not the top, which may be a little odd for some people. I like how large the bags feels.

Bought this for my son as a school backpack. He is in the building trades program and needs to have work boots/work clothes and the full access zipper makes loading and unloading much easier than a tradition backpack, while having the convenience of carrying and not having the carry an additional duffel. So far the quality seems great, but we did purchase the protection plan just in case.

Have used this backpack commuting, hiking, etc. for the past month or so, and it has been versatile and durable. The padded backrest is solid and comfortable, interior pockets and storage provide reasonable and effective space. Love the front pouch for cramming in a jacket for quick commute. Would recommend as a daily commuter pack or hiking daypack.

I ’ ve used several of sea to summits lightweight dry bags in the past. The lightweight bags are great for application where abrasion is minimized but a susceptible to getting small holes in rough environment or after heavy use. The big river bag is the perfect heavier duty compliment to the lightweight dry bag for applications like kayaking, bikepacking and other adventures where you need to keep items out of the elements but where abrasion can ’ t be entirely avoided. I ’ ve used the 13L size in a few of my whitewater kayaks including my half slice and it a great size to slide behind the seat. Never had a drop of water get in. I like the 13L size, it could easily fit a sleeping bag and a light layer in it. Have yet to get it out on a bike packing mission but expect the lash points will be nice to have. The picante red color is awesome. Looking forward to taking it on more adventures.

Rick T.
The Big River dry bag as the perfect bag for sea kayaking adventures. With rocky shores on the Maine coast I do n't have to worry about punctures and abrasions. With the added tie loops I can even attach the bag to the outside of my kayak if needed. It's a great addition to my storage solutions.

[ I ’ ve used the Big River bags for a long time … these with the new side loops and subtlety redesigned profile for the slightly outward tapering opening are great upgrades. We have a few of these and they ’ re great as lightweight but super durable bags to bring along for dropping other bags( like a standard outdoor brand duffle) into when you need the protection.

We bought this for my high school son to use as his daily school back pack. It works great. We debated on what size to get. We are so glad we got this one and did n't go with a smaller bag. His bag holds his lap top, 3 small binders, a couple of books and a lunch bag quite well. And so far, we are very happy with the quality. I know this bag is bigger and therefore a more expensive, but it has been worth it, plus I am hoping this bag will last more than one school year.

MITCHELL S.
After 5 days of using this pack in Wyoming for backpacking and multi- pitch climbing, I 'm stoked on how this pack worked out! The backpack handled loads of 30 pounds without trouble, and stripped down for climbing with ease. It's just the perfect shape for carrying gear in my eyes. The frame sheet is a clear step forward from previous packs in low weight and sturdy construction. I also really liked the interior zip pocket and the fabric that shed rain and hail without issue. If I could change one thing, I would lower the chest strap, because it still sits a little high. Overall, crushed it BD!

I ’ ve been waiting for someone to make exactly this for a while but have yet to find a vest for overnight use that really fits all of my needs. This is it! My fast packing setup fits great in the 22l size and all of the external pockets make anything I would need during the days on a run accessible.

Kane T.
A bundle of cleverly stitchless fabric and features. My beloved prev generation Distance 15 was( un) fortunately lifted off me last month. Was grateful when 22 came back in stock, and super stoked with the reconfiguration of how the straps attach to the pack, and how the pockets have been set up. Work MUCH better! A leeetle disappointed that the way the pack opens was not really addressed-- they just made the opening loop a brighter colour. Too often I grab the pack by the stretchy closure instead of the loop, so I worry for longevity of the elastic. Why not attach the elastic+ hook to the lid side, and incorporate the handle into the lid opening mechanism? Grab, unhook, pull- to- open in one motion, and wo n't accidentally grab the loose elastic of an open bag. While you 're at it, maybe swap the stretchy inside zippered pocket and use something woven and non- stretchy, for durability.:)

Awesome bag I am not a runner but I loves this for climbing and long days in the mountains. Sits high staying out of the way of my harness and being able to keep food and water handy is nice. Took it up the grand with a 60m rope and a good amount of other gear and it was surprisingly comfortable.

Joel F.
I ’ m really happy about this pack. I ’ m 5 ’ 9 ’ ’ slender and chose a medium, which I ’ m happy with. I use it for long days in the alpine including hiking, scrambling, and easier alpine climbing. I sometimes run on my way down hill and this works good for that option. I usually carry extra shoes( running or approach), layers and day trip essentials. I ’ ve maxed it out once with basics for an alpine climbing day trip with a simple trad rack, harness, rope, helmet, and the rest. It did all right. The pole side storage works well but I only use pole with a large heavy pack, so not very useful for me. And those compartments are a bit too small to fit other things such as shoes which would have been great if it did. I ’ ve used it only about 5 times so far but very happy about it and I highly recommend this vest style of daypack. We ’ ll see in 5 years how it is durability wise.

Ryan Y.
The 1st version of the Distance 15 was already my favourite do- it- all mountain pack. This new version includes a revamped front pocket design with more room and options for storage. Slightly elongated shape fits more comfortably against your back, and the main closure loop is now raised so it is easier to attach the G hook/buckle.
5
Li W.
This is an amazing pack. The best system is very comfortable and keeps the pack from moving when going fast. The compression system keeps the weight close to your body. I have used it for hiking and running, and plan to use it for skiing and climbing as well.

mountaindocdanny
I 've used this pack for a year now. It is my daily commuting pack for biking, running, or skiing to work year round in Anchorage. I also use this pack regularly for scrambling and climbing in the Chugach as well. The build quality is excellent and despite having probably 340- 350 user days it shows no significant signs of wear. It will bounce a little with running when I have more than 10 pounds or so in it, but this is minimal and manageable. Holds enough gear for a layer, foul weather gear, and some minimal technical gear for a day in the mountains. The water bottle pockets in the front fit a can of bear spray nicely, especially appreciated when negotiating dense alder thickets in bear country. Highly recommended!

I 've been searching small backpack for trail running for a while. I do n't like just a vest with some pockets but preferably small size backpack. Distance 15 is fit like a shirts and no compression by shoulder and west belts. While running/hiking, it became a part of my body. I really like the fitting mechanism. I 'm happy with this backpack.

[ As first time campers, when my partner and I first saw how compact and light the package was, we were skeptical of whether it would be large enough. However after setting it up- which was super easy- it was as roomy as you need it to be. The hardest part was putting it back into the bag as neatly as it came. However if you are impatient like my partner and prefer to just stuff it in, it still works, which is great! It is a three person tent, but is a tiny bit cramped imo, for two people however, it ’s perfect with some spare space. As a two person tent I ’ d rate it 5. As a three person, only for size I ’ m rating it 4.

[ Camping in the backyard is a vibe! Reading your favorite book while chilling in the tent is fun. My daughter had a fun experience! Outside of that, the Ampex tent is very durable and easy to put together. It would be great for 1 person to go on a camping experience in the woods and they would have great shelter and enough room to have a backpack inside of the tent with them. We love it!

I used this tent on a 4 night canoe trip in the Boundary Waters and had an amazing experience! It rained the first 2 days of the trip and this tent kept everything really dry while still being well ventilated. I loved that it came with a footprint that is super lightweight, this kept the bottom of the tent mud free in the rain and it cleaned up great when it was dry- I even used this footprint as a picnic blanket for lunch breaks between campsites which was an added bonus! 2 people in the 3P tent was ideal to have some extra room to move around, and I love that is has 2 doors with kick outs/vestibules on the rainfly to store items outside the tent while still being covered! My favorite bonus feature on the tent is the guyline bag that has a light diffuser for headlamps, so you pop your light into the bag and hang it on one of the many loops on the top of the tent for a perfect diffused light! The `` stargazer '' mode with the rainfly off was also amazing for stargazing without getting eaten alive by bugs! This is the best backing tent I have used( and a great price!) and I cant wait to take it with me on future trips!

I took this tent on a three- night backpacking trip to Colorado and I highly recommend it. My buddy and I were very tired after reaching our campsite and we were able to get the tent set up in under 10 minutes. The tent includes several unique features to make this process as quick as possible, including color- coded corners on the tent and footprint, a cool idea that I had never seen before. The tent also has a few other neat and useful features worth mentioning including two doors, large vestibules, and numerous interior organizational spaces and tools, such as pockets along the walls and a clever integration method that allows you to hang the removable top of an Ampex pack inside for easy access. Once we got it up, it performed very well. Our campsite had a significant amount of flies and wasps, but the tent ’s fabric kept all the bugs out for our entire trip. It also rained one night and the rain fly kept us( as well as my boots and pack in the vestibule) entirely dry. Additionally, our campsite overlooked a valley and we experienced some wind gusts during the trip. The tent never felt unstable and handled the wind well. In fact, I carried the tent in and I was surprised by how strong the tent was when considering how light it weighed. Finally, the temperature of the tent stayed well moderated because the tent has several vents. I would guess the temperature got down to the 30s or 40s at night and I was never too cold or too warm. Overall, I highly recommend this tent. I ’ ve camped in numerous tents over the years and the Ampex 3- person is by far my favorite. I look forward to using it on my next trip.

In an attempt to try one- bag traveling, I went on a search for a versatile pack that can be carried on a flight and is easy to walk around with for a while in a city. I ’ m a recovering over- packer. What I ’ ve found is that this pack fits everything you need as long as you can do laundry. I can very comfortably fit about 7 outfits( mostly packable clothing), undergarments for 7 days, 2 pairs of pajamas, sandals, and a pair of tennis shoes. Not to mention, all of my necessary toiletries fit, I can throw my laptop in the dedicated sleeve, and have my reusable water bottle in the side pocket. And that ’s just the main pack. What really sold me on this pack is the detachable sling bag. When flying, I put the main bag overhead and have the sling bag under the seat in front of me. This allows me to have all my necessities( headphones, chargers, etc) easily accessible without compromising my leg room like a regular sized backpack might.

I bought this for a couple upcoming international trips. The top is easy to zip on and off, and I really enjoyed having my hands free to navigate the airport chaos. The thin side pocket is perfect for sliding in your phone and passport and keeping chapstick handy. The pack sits comfortably and was easy to adjust. My only complaint is that I really haven ’ t found a good function for the zippered pouch in the bottom of the bag. My shoes fit but were not able to lay flat and I wasn ’ t big enough for all my delicates. This is only my first trip so I ’ m sure it will find its purpose in future trips.
Ripstop nylon backpacks are known for their durability and resistance to tearing and ripping, making them ideal for outdoor activities and travel. The fabric is lightweight, which helps reduce the overall weight of the backpack while still providing strength. Additionally, ripstop nylon often has water-resistant properties, offering protection for your belongings in light rain.
When choosing a ripstop nylon backpack, consider features such as adjustable straps for comfort, multiple compartments for organization, and padded back panels for support. Look for backpacks with reinforced stitching and zippers to enhance durability. Also, consider the size and capacity based on your intended use, whether for daily commutes, hiking, or travel.
Ripstop nylon backpacks can handle various weather conditions, especially if they have water-resistant coatings. However, they may not be completely waterproof, so it's advisable to use a rain cover for heavy downpours. For activities in wet environments, look for models specifically designed with waterproof features or additional protection.
Ripstop nylon is generally lighter and more durable than many other backpack materials, such as standard nylon or polyester. It offers a unique grid pattern that enhances tear resistance, making it a preferred choice for outdoor enthusiasts. However, other materials may provide different benefits, such as increased waterproofing or breathability, depending on the intended use.
Ripstop nylon backpacks are versatile and suitable for a range of activities, including hiking, camping, traveling, and daily commuting. Their lightweight and durable nature makes them ideal for outdoor adventures, while their organizational features cater to everyday use. Whether you're carrying gear for a day hike or essentials for school or work, these backpacks can meet various needs.
