The seal on the water bladder is absurd. It's not connected to the bladder, and you're guaranteed to lose the slider. And then your package is useless.

Great Hiking Backpack! Miss The Mold…
It’s the size I was looking for. I had an older version that I used and loved for nearly 30 years, but the salt air in Hawaii made the old style metal/nylon zippers corrode and lock up. I finally couldn’t open them any more. So I just purchased this one and it’s great. The only thing I miss is that the old one was molded so it would leave airspace between my back and the backpack. That was really nice! I find my back sweating with this one. Otherwise it’s the perfect size to hold what I need with the water pack filled up!

Stylish And Comfortable
Excellent product, stylish and comfortable. My last High Sierra pack is still going strong, too.

15 Years Later
I was gifted this bag in 2009 and it just ripped slightly on top in 2024. I wasn't even sure the brand, but I had to look it up and give a review because 15 years of monthly hiking use on a bag is really impressive. Needless to say, I'll be buying another!

Best Value Hydration Pack
I purchased two hydration packs. One for me and one for my 12 year old son. They adjust perfectly to fit each of us. There is enough room to pack a wallet, snack, and a few other essentials.
