## What reviewers said

-   "I bought a custom 35l in vx07 - with dyneema stretch side, bottom, and shoulder pockets. Superb bag, used it on an 8 day coast-to-coast and a few overnighters so far and can't fault it. To the extent I also bought my girlfriend a custom Atom 35l too (with the conventional side pockets) - again really impressed with every aspect of ordering, purchasing and using the product. Atom packs are doing something great - producing well thought-out, high quality, custom packs that are a joy to own and use"
-   "I got an Atom40 in VX07. I love this pack. The bottom and should strap pockets keep me on the move without taking my pack off. The shoulder straps are luxuriously comfortable. I can fit all my gear plus a BV450 bear canister in the main body. It is pushing its limits with the bear can, but without it, it carries everything I need perfectly. Looking forward to getting more miles on it."
