Black Diamond Magnum Backpack - 976cu in

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 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 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....
