## Our verdict

### Reasons to buy

-   Has a switchback suspension system.
-   Comes with a rain cover which is tucked into a zippered bottom pocket which will keep your things from being wet.
-   Lots of organizational pockets which keep things in place.

### Things to consider

-   There are some unnecessary features for a hiking pack.
-   Lacks bottom straps.

## What reviewers said

-   "Unlike the Osprey, this one had an internal frame (HDPE frame sheet with spring steel reinforcement) and a rain cover. I appreciate that the hip pockets are larger than normal, and I like all the pockets (9), especially the two internal mesh. The detail such as the glow-in-the-dark feature at the end of the pulls is a nice touch. Finally, I can get stuff from the bottom thanks to the quick access door-zipper in the front."
-   "Extremely well padded hip belt (reminiscent of Osprey's AG series). Equal padding & contoured pack straps. All packs' straps should be slightly S-Curved - not just 'women's specific'. Huge,well-placed side zip pockets & gigantic side "water" pockets. Many inner compartments. Front lower-side zip access to main top-loading compartment. Great color blue, too! Many + features for relatively small-med pack. Would recommend highly."
