Excellent upgrade from my mountain smith pack used since 1992. I appreciate the back knotch pad that helps ventilate my back, the very useful and supportive side bottle holders and the number of attachments I can make to fine tune the fit.

Hands down THE BEST lumbar pack out there when combined with the suspended.This pack has everything in all the right places.The one upgrade I'll be making is to include a waterproof sack inside the main compartment to keep gear dry in extreme conditions.

This is the perfect day pack: plenty of room in the large areas of the pack, even for a water reservoir, if you prefer that over water bottles. I like keeping the heaviest things I carry (like water) closer to the center of my body, so I put lighter things (rain cover for the pack, xtra socks, rain jacket, sandals, etc.) in the secure water bottle holders on the outside of the pack. Anyway, there's generous room in the main compartment for extra clothes, first aid kit, and a meal, plus things like binoculars, journals, etc. Plenty of secure/zippered areas for must-not-lose-on-the-trail items (car keys, wallet, etc.) The drop down outer flap is great for a mid-weight jacket, or rain jacket, that needs to be readily available depending on the effort/heat I'm putting into the hike. The belt: come on! this is the best day pack belt on the market. Wide and lots of smooth hip padding and two additional external compartments for smaller items (though the zippered pocket does hold my iPhone 15, so it's not small!) on the belt at the front of the body. And the very best part: I have to wear NOTHING on my mid and upper back, where I generate a big percentage of heat while hiking. Also, my upper body can move without being encumbered by a pack--sometimes required on rock hops and in forests. When I travel by air to places I'll be hiking, the pack is my under-seat bag. My other good-hip-belted day packs with the same capacity could not fit under the seat. Very high quality craftsmanship mean my first one only finally wore out after 25 years of hundreds of miles of travel/hiking. (It's still in good enough shape to be my dog's travel bag.) I almost forgot: the bottom straps can hold a bottle of wine, a tarp, a pad for sitting, additional light shoes, towel, bathing suit, or many of the trail-specific things you like to take depending on your destination (baguette, anyone?)

This pack is very versatile! It has a ton of room for all of your essentials and then some. It’s very comfortable to wear with plenty of padding, and you can add the shoulder strap if you that little bit of extra support. I use this as a day pack, 1-2 day travel bag, and a camera bag for doing photography shoots.I highly recommend this pack and am also considering purchasing the 9 liter as well.
