whirlwind is killer

I've used this pack a bunch for day hikes and trail running. I'm pretty much sold on the Airflow technology - I like feeling a little breeze action against my sweaty back. Sure, this backpack is tiny - but that's the point. I can squeeze my Camelbak inside and keep hydrated or I can rock some water bottles and shove more stuff inside. (The water bottles in the waist belt pockets stay put with elastic cording that is cinchable.) The stowable mesh pocket is awesome and has come in very handy for wet gear or layers shed while on the move. The little pockets on the waistbelt are handy and stay zipped. The inside zip pocket is perfect for stuff you don't want to misplace (i.e. keys). I haven't had to use the rain cover yet - but I don't see how it could malfunction. If you like to carry a bunch of crap - this pack isn't for you. It's streamlined and super light. Love it.
