I purchased as a "daypack" for a week long camping/hiking trip in the mountains. This bag was PERFECT. It held everything I wanted to carry plus some. It got tossed here and there, dropped on the ground, rained on, etc. and still looks brand new. It rained quite a bit so the water proof pouch was a definitely plus. Though the rest of the items in the bag stayed pretty dry too. First Aid kit, extra set of clothes, hoodie, light jacket, 2 flashlights, several different pocket knives, pen/pencil/paper, bug spray/bug bracelets, sunscreen, 2 ponchos, fire starter, compass, whistle, hat, sunglasses, meds, travel size toiletries (shampoo/conditioner/toothbrush/paste/deodorant/gold bond), snacks, microfiber towel, playing cards, compact camping chair and large water bottle. I think I forgot some things, but it was alot packed in there and it was comfortable to carry every day. After the trip I hand washed it in the kitchen sink with some Dawn dish soap, hung dry and packed it up for the next trip. Literally still looks brand new. Highly recommend. Going to buy another one to keep in my truck with emergency supplies. Read more

I bought this bag in 2019 & it has held up so well! I especially love the dry bag compartment within to hold wet items separately, which comes in handy in travel, for instance after the beach when I change. It also holds a ton. I can go on a weekend with just this bag with no problem. This bag is worth it! Read more

Very pleased at the quality, size & overall look. Great pattern that doesn’t look like a kids backpack. Nice area for damp items & several pockets. Fits great on a woman’s frame without being overwhelming. I specifically wanted the packable option so I can take it when traveling to bring back extra items. Read more

Two days after I got it we went on a school band field trip. I was in charge of seven different middle school kids. This backpack took all of their things all of my emergency things all of my personal things my coffee mug, my water bottle everything. I wanted to put it to the test and it was really light, really comfortable, I loved it it’s going with me in my suitcase. In another, I’m going to put my purse inside and use it as my carry-on personal item in the plane. PS It started raining a couple of times hard during the field trip at the amusement park. I put on the backpack backwards and everything inside was protected by the deep waterproof pocket covering the rest. Read more

Very thin, long and floppy but carries a lot and is light weight. I like the fact that it has clips outside to keep everything together. I love how it looks and get a lot of compliments on it. I know it won’t last long so I am treating it delicately. Read more

It would have been better if it had clip for a water Blatter straw. Ultimately will carry something smaller as I don't need something so big. Read more

I just took a weekend trip to Mackinac Island. IYKYK transportation on the island is limited to biking, walking, or horses (either riding or via carriage). I didn't want a difficult luggage situation and my nice hiking backpack is only 18L so I knew it wouldn't fit everything I needed. This backpack.... let me tell you, I am shocked at what I fit in this thing and how comfortable it was on my 2-mile uphill hike to my hotel! For a weekend trip I fit 3 changes of clothes including pjs, my 18L backpack (to carry all of the fudge I knew I'd buy!) my professional-grade DSLR camera and extra lens, a large (and heavy) bike lock, 2 flashlights, bike head/tail lights, a travel flat iron, a 3x7" toiletries bag, AND I had a tripod strapped to the side. I honestly didn't want to waste money on another backpack when I have a perfectly nice hiking bag, but I am so glad I bought this backpack. I have tons of luggage and this is my new favorite travel bag hands down!!! Read more
