## Our verdict

### Reasons to buy

-   Utilitarian design that only includes the necessary features.
-   Extremely lightweight that is convenient when hiking.
-   Great suspension system when the bag gets heavy.

### Things to consider

-   Can get a little bit uncomfortable when the bag is fully packed.
-   Not the most durable hiking bag on the market because of the thin fabric but with proper care, it would last.

## What reviewers said

-   "Have had it for 4+ years now and I have used it for everything from skiing, basic day hikes, spending the night somewhere, beach/lake days and everything in between. It is so light weight, holds a surprising amount of stuff with a surprising amount of features, and packs down incredibly low profile to pack in a larger bag for trips. Just love it."
-   "I bought this pack a little over 2.5 years ago and have loved it since day one. It's just super comfortable. I fill it (often overfill it), then hike all day and forget I'm wearing it."
