Seems small for a 30, but perfect for my needs Read more

I have been looking for a vest style backpack and this one is pretty good for my purposes but not absolutely perfect. Pros... very lightweight, lots of easy to use pockets, zippered pocket that holds my iPhone 15 pro max,, comfortable, very large stretchy stuff pocket that is easy to get into, inside zippered pocket. I like the pockets for trekking poles and I can reach them and put them back in. Cons.... it's a little noisy when hiking but I'm very sound sensitive.. not a deal breaker because it's not that loud The inside of the park is black making it hard to see items. The way they did the chest straps was to have one at sternum and one below breasts .... This works but I didn't like it because I could see how that would create a pressure point and rub with lightweight clothes on... but I did have a solution for it which is to take off the sternum strap which has very little stretch and move the bottom stretchy strap to the sternum area ... works like a charm. No additional side pockets for more water The other trekking pole attachment is very odd and I have quite figured out how it works. This could have been done in a better fashion I had a hard time deciding if I was going to keep it or not, but finally made up the decision to keep it because it is so comfortable since I fixed the sternum strap. In fact, it is my most comfortable backpack and it holds a lot of gear. Read more
