What reviewers say
Reviewers like how well it spreads weight to the hips for a pack this light, and the huge outside pockets keep snacks, water and a rain jacket in reach. The separate torso and hipbelt sizing gets praise for a close fit. It is not the lightest pack in its class, and the 35-pound ceiling means it works best with a trimmed kit. There is a hydration port but no internal sleeve. Maker-site owners rate it about 4.9 of 5.
Good
- Big capacity with deep outside pockets
- Fit options for torso and hips
- Made in the USA
Not so good
- No hydration sleeve
- Not built for loads past about 35 lb
- Heavier than frameless ultralight packs
Who it's for
Thru-hikers and weekend backpackers with a moderate-weight kit who want room for food carries. Heavy haulers should pick a framed load pack.
