I disagree with the other review from 2yrs ago. I didn't buy it to carry ski/snowboards or at the moment no backcountry use. I wanted a pack smaller then my REI 30L daypack to hold a small bit of water,wallet,keys,multitool,extra gloves and warmth layer. The material seems fairly durable. Big zip opens the back panel for main area for water bladder and warmth layer storage, outside storage is good for radio,tool,keys,etc. I am 6,1 220lbs and it fits fine over my Proshell. It is a simple design without a bunch of extras. I do wish the belt wrapped around a bit more so I could get to my camera pocket easier. Maybe if I lost 30lbs that could help but will end up not using them for camera.
Overall I am happy with it, small, slim , just enough space for small amount of gear. Like the built in whistle. Not sure what changes were made in the new version but at half off I didn't really care to much. For the price paid I like, full retail price I would have looked at other options maybe.
