I’ve only used the pack once, but so far it seems great. The pack carries weight very comfortably and sits well on my torso. After using running packs for daypacks for a while, I can’t stand how hiking packs don’t have pockets on the shoulder straps. It’s great to have a larger capacity bag with a good hip belt that also has pockets on the straps. The strap pockets are a bit narrower than my BD running packs, not sure if this is due to those being men’s/unisex packs or just a different design on this pack. I can just fit my iPhone 11 in the strap pocket, but might not be able to if I had a bulkier case. On my running packs I carry bear spray in the shoulder strap pockets, but the strap pockets on the Pursuit 15 don’t work as well for that (but bear spray can easily go in the side stretch pockets). My biggest complaint about the pack is the lack of hydration tube routing. There is one elastic loop on the shoulder straps to run the tube through, but it’s high-ish up and the tube hangs sort of awkwardly with no other loops or clips to secure it with. But, overall this still seems like a great, comfy pack!
