oddly shaped...

I bought this because i thought the design was pretty cool and it looked low profile. one of the most annoying things is having water bottles always falling out of the mesh pockets. mostly due to them being very wide. even too wide for a nalgene bottle i think. basically if u dont carabine ur water bottle to the side strap it will fall out if u even slightly bend over. also with the way the zipper for the main pocket is designed it kind of folds up and gets in ur way if you have even light things in the front pocket. somewhat troublesome when tyring to get to the bottom of the main pocket. i also dont like the oval shape of the main compartment. there are many things out there that are square and rectangle shaped and dont quite fit.
about the only good thing is it sits tight on your back and is good for bike rides. assuming ur water bottles dont fall out while riding =0
