"Highly Recommended" - Review of GoLite VO24 Backpack - 1500 cu in

This pack is great for light and fast one day outings. I use it for trail running and climbing mountains. There is plenty of room for at least a gallon of water, a jacket or two, and food. The hydration pouch is a bit small, but a 2-liter bladder can be crammed into it. The hip belt pouches are handy for keys, sunscreen, and power snacks. The ice axe loops might be nice, but the pack is probably a bit too small for any outing requiring axes. The only improvements I would ask for is to lose the tow loop (seems useless), and have a more secure closure system for the back pouch, like a zipper. Overall, I'm very pleased with it, and it is holding up well even after squeezing through some chimneys.
