This is a great day pack. I wouldn't go out for a weekend with just this, but for overnights it seems to be great. It fits very well on a 5 11 frame and doesn't move around a lot if you jump or run. The compactness of it is great as well, i can roll it up into my bigger suitcase when i go to Europe no problem.

I bought the Magnum for my daily commute to office & gym – what a great pack. Super light weight, very functional. Material seems very fragile at first, but after multiple times getting caught on subway doors and elevators, it is still going strong!
Size is just perfect for commute or sightseeing type. It can compress small, I usually keep it in my luggage, and take it out for a quick sightseeing.

Only complain is the color. On the photo of website (both yours and Black Diamond), they look solid color of black or gray. Unfortunately, the delivered pack had orange webbing all over, i.e. drag handle and bungee code keepers. I wish they fix the picture to match the product more....

I love this little thing, I use it for everything, at school, on day hikes, taking a change of clothes to the gym. Very good quality... it is a black diamond. The waist strap is a nice feature not found on many small packs.

I recently bought this backpack to use for traveling and hiking. It is a body-hugging minimalist design. The rip-stop nylon, hardware and construction is very durable and light weight. Smooth-working nylon coil zippers with clever integrated pulls. Well shaped and positioned straps shoulder, chest and waist straps. A very useful detail is the good-sized zippered pocket inside the main compartment that keeps small items from rolling around (not mentioned in the original description). It fits my 12" powerbook in a padded sleeve perfectly with plenty of room to spare. Two stretch mesh pockets expand a lot and hold water bottles firmly. I bought the pack in black for its inconspicuous look and am very satisfied in all respects.

I have been using this for short outings with my scouts and it's my primary geocaching "go bag". it's perfect for GC'ing, a small zip pocket inside the front flap is perfect for the GPS and my small camera. It also has a hydration sleeve, which works great for small field books and notebooks. More than enough room for extra hat gloves, light fleece and other small items for the boys. Nice bungee on the outside to put in a rain coat. The water bottle holders on the sides are small, but if you have a small nalgene or a clean canteen, you'll be ok. It's very lightweight - I'll wear it all day and forget it's on. It also fits me good, being a bigger guy (300+), once I let the straps out all the way...versatile and cheap - it's a winner...

This pack is great its just big enough for all your essentials for a day of hiking, Trail riding, or trail running. It has side pockets to hold water bottles if you need extra water. I has a hydration sleeve that can fit a 100oz no problem. Also has a nice sized internal pocket for you keys.phone etc. Its great for those who like to push the pace and dont want a huge pack to get in the way.

This is a small pack--which fits the bill nicely for day trips and doesn't get in the way whether you are climbing rocks or navigating through crowds. It can snugly hold two water bottles (two excellent elastic mesh pockets on each side), a rain coat (tied on the outside), camera and snacks--not much more. The harness is very comfortable and capable of supporting the load--and pulling it in close so it isn't flopping around throwing off your balance. The cargo area is very accessible and has a zippered inside pocket and another inside pocket.

We liked it so much we bought one for everyone in the family and have taken it on every hiking/canoe/swimming/car trip since. My wife loves it and has taken to leaving her purse at home in favor of this little pack. On our last trip to the waterpark there was enough room for a beach towel and one other item inside, either lunch, spare shirt/socks, or medium size camera bag.

While the pack makes no pretension of being waterproof, it did hold up well in the bottom of the canoe on the last trip. Only the items around the zippers were wet (the outside was muddy and wet). We have used these on short rainy hikes exposed to the downpour, and didn't have issues with our gear getting wet inside after three hours. A couple of more hours and the contents would probably have gotten wet--but we were done before the packs gave out.

I found this pack to be a bit too small for my daily trips to the gym. I wanted a pack that could fit a pair of running shoes, a change of clothes, and my ipod. This pack couldn't do it. It's a nice looking pack, just a bit small.

Used it on 20 mile hike in the smokies with my own bladder. Perfect day hike bag!!!!

This is one awsome little bag. I have filled it to it's max and when all the straps are fastened you can even feel it pull on your shoulders. It is really great.

This is perfect for day hiking and day trips anywhere. It's very comfortable and holds plenty of essentials without being too bulky. The only minor drawback is the lack of an external pocket for items you want to get to quickly. I found the color (dolomite) to be as represented in the online photos.

I looked everywhere for a backpack to run with. I run home from work (3.5 miles), so I need to carry the clothes I wore to work in a backpack (shoes, pants, shirt). My old backpack rubbed my back, so I needed a new one. This backpack is great, although at first the straps rubbed against my neck (I got used to it though). I am assuming someone bigger than me (I am 5'4" 110lbs) might not have this problem. Overall nice little backpack!

A great day pack! It fits everything i need for the day on a hiking trip... two sandwiched, waterbottle, sweater, first aid kit, bug spray and notebook.

Very comfortable too. Its not too big and not too small.

I needed a good fitting breathable gray colored back pack to use on day outings to see birds. Something to put 2 jackets in and a small lunch and that carries 2 bottles of water. The Magnum fits the bill perfectly.

Used it for 14 days in the BVI as a day trip bag and it was perfect. Light weight and very well built. Would highly recommend.

if you are looking for a bag that doesn't chaff/pill your shirt, and distributes the weight evenly this is it! Excellent for day hiking. I easily fit my sandwich, snacks, an apple, first aid kit & a 2L H2O bladder & 3L camelback with out trouble.
