Gear Review
Great versatile day pack!

Pros:
- AirSpeed vent is the best! I never had any other packs works like this one.
- Contour fits so snuggly that I still want to carry it at home.
- Trekking pole straps are very convenient. With other packs, I had to take my pack off first and put poles into side straps, with this one I can easily secure the poles while walking.
- Very versatile. The compression straps on top can be loosened and clip into opposite side. Compression straps at bottom can be loosened and put in sleeping pads.
Cons:
- Somehow all the zippers on the pack are hard to unzip with one hand, even with the pockets on belt.
- Side pockets for water bottle are impossible to reach without taking off the pack (at least taking off one should strap). It could be better designed.
- There should be small hook or strap or something in the hydration pocket to hold bladder in place. My bladder will simply "sink" to the bottom.
Overall speaking it's a great multi-function pack. With the hydration pocket this pack is almost one-pack-for-all!

In mine there is a small frabric loop to hang the badder from. It's located up behind the lining of the sunglasses pocket and works fine at holding the bladder up.
