Love It!

Best all round backpack for hiking black colour is very sleek

Great Bag

The design of the bag is overall very good. Plenty of pockets with thoughtful placement prioritising usability. The waist support is supper comfortable and makes load carrying so much easier.

Always Used A Kestrel 38

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Always used a Kestrel 38 before this, and am grateful for the extra room I thought I might need. Thanks. My grandson will get good use of the old one.

Very Comfortable

This pack checked all the box with all the features at a great price. It is a good size pack if you pack minimally.

Fits Great But The Ventilation Isn't Good

I traded this pack in twice - the first time I just thought I had a defective unit, but I had the same issue with the second one. The pack fits great, has really good and convenient pockets, and is well-adjustable, but the back ventilation ""airscape"" design seems like it is supposed to be concave so that your back isn't in contact with the pack, but both units I tried very quickly became convex to the point where it was pushing into my back. This made it so anytime I wore the pack for more than a few hours, my back was the only part getting hot and sweaty. Unless I just happened to get two defective units, I'd say this is a design flaw and you should look at the Atmos or Exos which have much better ventilation designs.
