Perfect Size And Weight For Longer Hikes.

Perfect for long hikes with an added hydration pack.

Great Light Pack

Perfect sized pack for running and short hikes. Carries very well on your back and holds more than you'd think. I like the pockets on the front shoulder straps. I carry my phone in one and a thin water bottle in the other. All total I can carry 3 bottles if needed. In other reviews, I've read that the strap buckles that are on the lower back have caused some issues for users. I am a fairly muscular guy with a wide back and I've had no issues. I find the pack to be very comfortable and on long runs don't even notice it. Very versitle and worth the price. As with all North Face products, very well constructed.

Good For Short Day Hikes

Wish it was a titch bigger and that it didn't narrow at the bottom. Otherwise very comfortable. Brought it with me to hike timp. It was packed to the brim. Love the shoulder strap pockets!

Great Item

Love this for short hikes/treks. It would be perfect if it had a wider bottom.

Terrible Design

See the two plastic clips on the cinch straps where your shoulder blades sit? Those dig into your back while wearing this pack. If that wasn't bad enough the little clip to hold the secondary pouch up is so loose that merely putting the bag on unclips it so it's dangling behind you. Do not trust the reviews for this bag. Very disappointed. There's no way any of the reviewers wore this bag. Terrible comfort because of the plastic clips pressing into your back.
