I use this bag mostly to take stuff to and from work. Typically I will have my MacBook, iPad, Coffee Thermos, 32os Hydro Flask and many other smaller items. The bag is of great Quality. The zippers work very well, and the backPack has a lot of nice extrasa with tons of storage. I have also used this bag for a couple light day hikes and it served me very well. It is comfortable and breathes very nice. The padding and clips all work very well. I do not think this bag is built for more advanced hikes and long term durability. If you are looking for that, I would suggest bags like Gregory, Patagonia, Osprey, and Arctyryx Bottom Line: If you are looking for an affordable backpack for lite hikes and to carry your items around, this is it. IF you are looking for a more advanced Pack, it will be worth the extra research and money. Read more
Very impressed by this backpack, spacious main compartment with a laptop pocket, secondary compartment, and lots of exterior pockets. The waist flaps are large and soft padded, and the hip belt are long and wide – the pack is very comfortable on your hips. The hip flaps have zipped pockets, and even hidden side pockets where you can stash the straps after you unbuckle to prevent them dangling around the floor (very clever!). A multitude of straps and accessories for attaching your gear and making various adjustments, even the adjustment of the upper shoulder straps. On top of that, all these features come in a lightweight pack under 2lb. Great hiking and travel backpack for sure, and terrific value at under $30. Read more
I absolutely loved this backpack! I hike quite often and my old bag really needed to be replaced. I love that this has two bottle pockets on the sides and plenty of places to stash my keys and wallet for easy access. It holds a good amount of stuff if you hike in the cold and need to be able to put your extra layers in there. It was also really comfortable with the chest and waist straps! I attached my hiking poles to the sides and they stayed securely fastened the whole time! Overall, definitely worth the money! Read more
Purchased back in 2021, and finally coming back to leave a review after it started failing. For the price, I really didn't expect this to hold up for 3 years. There's some uses I'd recommend for this, and some I wouldn't. If you're mostly using this to carry items back and forth to your office, like I used it for 2.5 years, I think this product would hold up indefinitely. The downfall of this product was when I started to use it to travel extensively about 6 months ago. The zippers started to freeze up and corrode after they had gotten wet in the rain. I was in a high-humidity environment, so they likely weren't able to dry out well. They corroded to the point that I was no longer able to open them, and had to resort to cutting open the bag to access my items. A higher quality zipper would likely not have had these issues, but again, for the price point, it's about the level of quality I'd expect. If you want this bag for mostly indoor use or brief outdoor use, it's a great buy. It has plenty of room, plenty of compartments, and can hold quite a bit of weight without an issue. I'd advise looking for a higher price-point item if you're looking to use it for something like hiking or extended travel, though. Read more
I use this for work and for storage on my Motorcycle rides and it has not failed me in over nearly two years of daily use! From a lunch-pal and water bottle, to multiple laptops and books, this backpack holds the weight and does not struggle at all. I have put easily over 5000 miles on Motorcycle with this on my back, rain and shine, and there is almost zero wear and tear that can be seen on this backpack. The zippers and pockets all work great and the front chest buckle has been great at keeping the pack tight and secure. Great product! Read more
Good pack. Lots of pockets. I've had it for awhile. Read more
This would have been my GOAT backpack (and I love backpacks). But the mesh pockets ripped pretty quickly so that the bag pretty bad. I dont use it anymore even though everything else is in great shape. Read more
Bought this backpack to use as a “personal item” while flying and to do some hiking while in Scotland. I love all of the compartments and zippers. Fits well. Chest and abdomen straps are strong and make the load seem lighter. This can fit a lot of stuff and is extremely useful for hiking! It is water RESISTANT, not waterproof. But just used a poncho for heavier rains and had no issues. I definitely recommend this pack! Read more
