## Our verdict

### Reasons to buy

-   Great materials are used in the fabric of this pack.
-   The clamshell design makes things easier to pack into and unpack from the bag.
-   The minimal design makes it more than meets eye. It seemingly can pack a lot considering how "small" it looks.

### Things to consider

-   The straps can be stiff and uncomfortable if it is used for long periods of time.
-   The zippers can be somewhat hard to unzip and zip at times.
-   Doesn't offer great water resistance.
