Well balanced with great cushion. I carried this full up and down the gran canyon for six hours and never felt weighed down. In fact I felt like it acted like lumbar support! Would buy again, 100%.

Great pack. My preferred if no huge food or water carries are needed. Adding a second sternum strap greatly increase comfort and weight carry for me at least. I would like to see a sternum strap system other than the slider type. Great for travel and trail.

Comfortable holds a good amount but not a lot . Well designed . Only 1 color we liked as masculine the others just not buyable .

Perfect size for an all day outing. Holds tons of gear and feels great with the Strapette EVOs I purchased to go along with it. Super organized!

Just what I needed.

mi tercer bolso mochilero con ustedes, muy espacioso, calidad en los materiales por tan excelente precio, muy feliz

Item arrived quickly from the Pacific side of the US to the Atlantic. Thank you !

Just what I needed. I am a casual hiker at our local Appalachian Mountain. I am 68 years old and I noticed I was losing my balance sometimes especially coming downhill. They sticks are the best.

Straps work as advertised and are the principal reason why I settled on the Tour pack: versatility.

Combines features into something that resembles my ideal daypack. Internal storage is enough for three season, lid is well designed to hold key items and has the mesh underside lid pocket for things I need to find quickly. External mesh pocket on back is big enough and good for stuffing layers shoulder season, front pockets for food and head / handwear accessories. Side pouches are large enough for full size nalgene but tight enough to keep it and other smaller bottles or things in place. It is light, simple, and made from relatively durable materials. Will likely use it for everything but overnights (might work for that in summer) and winter trips when more gear is needed.

Shoulder and waist strap system is good, sits well and without much adjustment. Front straps feel like trail running vest and really wrap well.

I had been looking for a good replacement for my quite old and falling apart golite. The looks and feels similar, but better in pretty much all regards. Has already been used on several trips and is the pack I had hoped to find for some time.

Great pack for a day trip. Just right.

I'm not a biker but I was searching high and low for a daypack to take on my upcoming group tour of Vietnam. I was struggling to find the right volume of pack. They all seemed either too big (18L) or too small (10L). I had never heard of Mountainsmith. I found my bag brand new with tags still attached at a resale store for about half price. I'm not planning to use the hydration bladder on this trip so I was searching for a tall and kind of narrow front netted pocket for holding my 40 oz Hydroflask during our daily activities. Our tour operator provides us with regular access to filtered water to fill water bottles. In my experience, water bottles always are tipping out of side pockets on backpacks! This one is so perfect and I can support it a bit with the exterior cord. The front chest pockets are amazing and a unique feature for a backpack. I can fit my iPhone 17 Pro Max + case in one and might put some bathroom supplies in the other (tissue, wipes) for easy access. I wanted my phone to be safe from phone snatchers (so not constantly in my hand or hanging out of my pants pocket), but also at the ready, as I take a lot of photos. Those three pockets are what immediately sold me. It took a lot of wrangling, rethinking, and adjusting but I think I finally got this pack to fit correctly on my petite but curvy frame. This backpack is also big enough to take on the plane as my carry on, since I'll be checking my main suitcase. I did a trial packing run and fit a change of clothes/ underwear/ socks/ pajamas in a compression packing cube. I'll be able to fit my device chargers and essential medications and toothbrush as well. Once I'm reunited with my suitcase, I'll keep all that stuff in the suitcase and use the day pack for a sun shirt, hat, sunblock, mosquito spray, water bottle, phone, etc. I wish I could find a really good overview video of the backpack and all its features/ functions/ adjustments (something more detailed than this one) because I’m probably missing something. It would be helpful to see the backpack on a woman’s body, as we are built differently!

Great straps, ruggedly built, and very comfortable. Love the pouches for phone, ranger finder, etc. Totally changed the versatility of my evo lumbar pack for scouting and elk archery.

Well built, versatile access pouch, roomy.

Great poles!
