I agree that backpacks are more comfortable, but this pack is large enough for a packable shell jacket. If you don't need to bring a change of clothing, just a shell, it would be fine. I had a shell, a camera, wallet, hat, microfiber towel, and still had room.We have two of these and like them very much. My brother-in-law borrowed one and used it as a cool diaper bag when they went to Hawaii last year. It's a good man-bag.One convenience that waist packs have over backpacks is that you don't have to take them off to access their contents.
