Great Quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This backpack is very well made and a quality product. Very lightweight, which is so important when toting things around while hiking. It's a beautiful color and the construction looks like it will hold up for many years to come.

Great features
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my backpack and put it to good use. Went hiking and couldn't believe how comfortable the backpack was. The straps were strong and soft. I was also impressed by the quality and amount of room that was in it. Love it

Fantastic backpack for climbing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this backpack. It’s incredibly light and looks great. The 4 loops on the outside of the backpack are perfect for small carabiners to hold my climbing shoes, keys, helmet or any other belongings. I wish the top, open piece opened though because it would prefect to cinch down a rope. But I use it for dirty gym clothes after a training session. Something else that would make this pack perfect is deeper side pockets because my 24 hydro flask doesn’t fit. Bladder pouch comes in handy for that reason. High quality from deuter!

very nice
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very nice back pack and it is perfect for any outdoor activity since there are many areas to keep things separated. It is very light weight and easy to put on and adjust. Seems very durable also.

Light, Easy, and Durable!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I rather like my Deuter - Speed Lite 21 pack. It's light, easy, and durable. My favorite parts are the straps (which fasten things in place) and the small pocket at the top (perfect for small and easy access of things like your phone, headset, and keys). The color is a nice cherry on top!

Lightweight!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect sized bag for a quick hike. Carries the essentials and is very lightweight. Even looks good and not tacky! The first aid compartment is a life saver… literally! If going on a long hike I recommend a larger bag.

Incredibly lightweight
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This backpack is really lightweight and a great size for half day hikes and general day use. It wears comfortably and the back is padded and breathable. It fits my frame well as a 5’3” female. I am pretty picky with the weight of empty packs and this is truly lightweight. It feels like nothing when worn. I love that the inside of the main compartment has a label with some first aid information. It is basic information, but very nice to have if the situation ever arises. There is a small top compartment that can hold keys, valuables, and other small items that you need easy access to. The outer pocket is spacious and feels secure. The pocket is formed by the dark and light colorblocked panels where the logo is. The two panels are connected and you just slip your items inside. It is easy to put stuff in it, but I do wish to be able to open it up fully with a buckle or through other means. If I could change one thing, it would be to have taller water bottle side pockets. I have a 24oz bottle that is around 10 inches tall. While it technically fits, it does not feel secure enough. The pockets are better suited for shorter water bottles.

Perfect accessory for me!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This backpack is just perfect for any of my outdoor activities. Nice and roomy inside with plenty of small compartments. Used it for 4th of July parades and fireworks. Nice padded straps so very comfortable to carry. I highly recommend it and I will be using it frequently.

Lightweight
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This backpack is great and is extremely lightweight. It seems small but I can fit three days work of clothing and essentials in it. The buckle on the front is small so it doesn’t interfere or pull on your clothing. Highly recommend!
