Great travel pack
Perfect travel pack - I’m an airline pilot and it has served me well all over the country- I recently used it for a multiple day trip to Mexico City. Pyramids, balloon rides, museums - it was perfect

Great small pack. Fits 13 Inch MacBook
Love this little pack! It’s small but carries everything you’d need for a quick run out in the city or a short day hike. I do wish that it had some rigidity but that’s because I use it often enough that rolling it into itself isn’t how I’ll be using it. Fits a 13 inch Mac Pro in the pocket I believe is designed for a water pack. I like the open and close mechanism. Great little pack.

Needs design work but well made
Love how light this backpack is and it’s comfy to wear with quite a bit of weight in it. Downside - front zipper pocket is too small and the outside open pocket is not designed to hold a water bottle as it’s too short and too wide. bottomline it’s a bit too minimalist. the larger version has three outside zipper pockets which is designed much better.

Great daypack!
Love this daypack. Easy to use and very durable. I'm giving this a 4.5/5 stars because I wish there was a waist strap to alleviate some of the weight I carry from my back, but the chest strap helps. I also wish there was padding on the back side for more comfort.

Light and Comfortable
This pack ticks all the boxes for me in a light summit pack and surprisingly works very well for a day of sport climbing. Super light and very comfortable. Designed with simplicity in mind, very few zippers pockets etc, but has what you need for most objectives.

Great Light Day Hike Bag
Great bag that is light. I wanted a day pack that I could use on a day hike that wasn't my typical heavy bag with all the straps. This was a much better design.

Great little daypack!
I'm very happy with this backpack! PROS: It is easily packable and lightweight, but feels much more substantial than other packable bags that are so thin that they always look crumpled and wrinkled. The outer zip pocket doubles as the pouch, and is the perfect depth for small items and also includes a key strap. There is no back support, but then again this is meant to be a stuffable/packable little daypack and it serves this purpose beautifully. The double handles make it easy to grab. The vertical center strap is removable, and helps to keep the backpack closed if it is stuffed full (flap over quick-draw opening). I got the light cactus green with the purple strap - love the colors! CONS: There is only one side pocket and it is really wide - good for larger items, but too large for my water bottle so I have to put it inside the pack. I'd like to suggest adding a (mesh?) water bottle holder on the other side, but this is not a deal breaker.

Ok lil pack
Packable little bag, but lacks any back support unless fully loaded, would love it if the came up with a way to make the back more rigid but maintain packablity. Good for traveling

Back support?
Really enjoy it for bike commuting, the only issue I have is because it is completely non-rigid I’ve had to stuff the bladder sleeve with foam to help maintain some shape on my back and provide some cushioning from things like my bike lock and other heavier stuff I carry. A removable insert to provide some support and shape would be great.
