Good Inbetween Pack
This is a good in between pack when you need a little more than a day pack but not a full backpacking pack. Pros: it's comfortable, the line for the water bladder detaches in a clever spot, the back is rigid so the bag doesn't deform but the mesh layer between the pack and the back means this rigidity isn't uncomfortable. Cons: I wish it has larger/more interior pockets. The pocket in the main compartment can fit a wallet and a snack bar and that's about it. The pocket on the outside has a strange fabric divider which I think is intended to hold a phone but my phone is too larger with it's case on so this partition just takes up space. Additionally, when it's raining, you have to route the water bladder hose through a zippered opening under the shoulder straps, which is a little difficult to do, and the length of the hose is a little too short to make it convenient to strap anywhere. Otherwise, if you use the hose through the top hole while it's raining, it lifts the rain cover and leads water underneath and onto the bag. This isn't a deal breaker but could be improved with future models.
