This is an awesome daypack!! The best feature, in my opinion is the pockets on the hip belt. I always want my camera within close reach while taking a nice hike for those amazing scenes, rather than having to take the pack off, get it out, take the photo, put it back in, put the pack back on... I order a S/M which is a perfect size for me (5'4" 130) and is the perfect size to fit everything I need for my day hikes. I usually have problems reaching my water bottles in the side pockets when I need to grab it while walking and have trouble getting it back in there as I usually hike alone so I don't have someone to grab it for me, but this is at the perfect location so I never need to take it off to get to my water. I haven't had to much time with it yet to test durability, but so far I would definitely recommend this one!
