perfect for a netbook or trad cragging

I would recommend this to a people provided they are no too much bigger than average. This pack works for me (5'8" 135#) but not my partner (6'0" 195#).As a urban/travel pack, this is the perfect size for a netbook. There are just enough pockets/features to make it convenient, but not too many to be confusing/unnecessary/heavier.As a trad rock climbing pack, it is not only the perfect size, it also rides high enough above my harness so I still have access to gear/pro. It's the perfect size to hold a 50 oz 1.5 L camelbak resevoir (a 2L would work, esp if not filled all the way), a few bars, a light shell and or a superlight puffy. As a climbing pack of this capacity, it's a tiny bit heavy (19 oz) for the volume it holds, but it's burley enough to resist abrasion.note: if using it w/ hydration set up, it may be worth it to put a computer or down jacket in a zip lock... just in case.
