Great backpack with a minor error

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really loved this backpack when I used it for a hiking trip out west. I was able to use it for multiple, long day hikes and was surprised at how functional it was and how much stuff if can actually hold! My only qualm is that one of the knots at the base of the tension strap that is used to cinch the backpack, became undone without my knowing, and fully unthreaded through seam that allows the whole system to work. With a lot of effort and patience, I was eventually able to work it back through and re-tie the knot, so it looks and functions just fine, but was just a bit annoying to deal with. I just feel there should maybe be a better system of attaching the base tension strap to the backpack, rather than just a knot. Otherwise, I do really like the backpack and am hoping to not have that problem in the future now that it's re attached!

I would recommend this to everyone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bag is great for day hiking. Enough room for all my gear and sinches smaller or larger as needed. My bladder fits perfectly in the compartment separate from the bag.

strong enough for a woman, works for a dude

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for a lightweight pack to use for day missions hiking or biking, and while this is supposedly a W specific pack, I found it to be a great fit and performance for what I needed. its light weight, has great storage for repair/tools in one pocket, and then a ton of personal storage in the other bigger pocket. There is a pretty rad elastic retention system that allows you to tighten all aspects of the pack with one pull. and it holds a bike helmet perfect in the outside elastic pocket. While apparently not designed for dudes, or biking its a perfect fit for me! and I bet great for others and other day activities as well! Enjoy!

Great pack for all adventures

Super comfortable W's specific fit makes this one of my favorite packs. I use it for in-town and wilderness adventures. Even good for packing essentials for base-camp camping.
