I totally disagree with sandyandda1227589, well engineered and well thought out offering a lot of carrying capacity in what is still an relatively small waist pack. Have used it from day hiking in temperate conditions, in the deserts of the middle east, long-haul airport travel, trail / road running, to a day to day urban man-bag / pack. Admittedly it isn't perfect and have tweaked the pack a little (strap keepers, elastic bungees to hold water bottle secure, day glow zip pullers, etc), the outer wind-breaker jacket holder could have been better thought out (bigger and adjustable with strap or bungee retention to hold items secure) and the internal storage could be better compartmentalised (mesh pockets with zips for instance) but on the whole i liked it so much i bought a spare one in case they stop making it.
