Wonderfully versatile

I bought this pack originally intending to use it for everyday commutes to work, and to comfortably haul a few days' worth of clothes and other necessities on weekend trips to various cities in Germany. While in Germany, I ended up also doing some camping around the national parks there. This backpack worked extremely well, expanding to hold gear and food enough to sustain one person over three days and two nights, with a reasonable level of comfort for a very lightly padded pack. When it's lightly filled, I hardly notice I have a backpack; it's so comfortable and light. Having only one pocket is somewhat of an annoyance each time I need to dig for my wallet when the pack's completely full, but an acceptable one. I love how it compresses to be nearly the size of hydration backpacks, when I go for long bike rides. Largely waterproof, but bring a garbage bag or pack cover if you're expecting heavy showers. Excellent for everyday use and ultralight backpacking for short durations in warm weather.
