I bought this pack when it was on sale, and i am happy I did, because it is a very nice backpack with a lot of features I was looking for and more. First off the 40L, you can definitely fit more than that, the side pockets are BIG ive thrown my big wayer bottle there and more no issues. The small mesh pockets on the outside are great for smaller stuff and I use them a lot more than I thought, the daisy chain on the front and back, just clip your random things there and are out of the way. The dual side pockets are 👌 they expand for big things and smaller items they dont pop out. The front mesh is big enough big items and clothing. I appreciate that the top can roll down and clip to the sides OR can clip to itself, so you can use the buckle straps to hold other items, when clipped to each other, tempted to clip a skateboard 🛹 😉
Feedback for the next version, add some closure buttons/clips/velcro for the roll top to keeps the lips closed.
Add a bottom pocket for trash, same material from the front stash pocket, add another one on the bottom for trash or other items that can be packed there
But overall im happy with this backpack, there are other more luxury brands but this one just feels fancy in itself
I just purchased a few Zevo 20L packs for an outdoor event I was hosting. The top influencers in the space were all blown away by this pack and thought it was super cool and feature-rich. I was really impressed with the craftsmanship, features and style of this pack. It's a day pack+, IMO with the flexibility of the roll-top and ability to strap gear on the exterior. I will be using this on ALL of my day hikes to my fishing spots in Colorado.
Putting it through the ringer with daily saw and trail work, very durable. Useful pockets and straps. Adjusts and loads comfortably. I have multiple thru hikes and more trips out of a backpack than I can count; this has become my new do-it-all pack for most of my trips that don't involve a glacier or weight over 100lbs, but it really shines with chainsaw work in the woods.
very practical!
This Fanny pack is perfect. The pocket sizes are just right. The little pocket on the back works really well for small things I need quickly. I like the new waistband setup without a tail hanging out. I have had a Mountainsmith fanny pack for many years, which I have always liked. This one is even better,
I love my Fanny pack! Sleek but highly functional. Two main compartments but great versatility in each one with separate pouches inside. I usually wear this slung aRound my chest and am appreciating the location of the buckle for easy on and off this way. I’ve been wearing a mountainSmith fanny pack daily for years now and finally treated myself to a new one. These last forever and our great for daily use.
I really like my Roo. It’s made very well and carries small handy items within easy reach when on the move.
I haven’t had a chance to use this yet but it seems well made and is quite a bit lighter than my Osprey. I love the features and pockets with the ability to carry 4 liters of water (2 liter bladder and pocket large enough to hold an additional 2 liters per f water for when I ride the great divide basin. I’ll give a better review when I’ve used it for bikepacking
Tecent trip to the Sierra. Unusually cold and windy, as I was etecting ot for the first time.I was in good shape with this great product.
Hands down the most versatile little pack I've owned. Originally bought it for a trip to Europe to keep essentials, valuables, and water close at hand. It performed flawlessly as a personal item under the plane seat—fitting a full change of clothes—and was a lifesaver on the ground for daytime outings and impromptu picnics. I loved it so much abroad that it’s now my everyday carry back home in the States. 10/10 recommendation!
I needed a light weight camera kit bag when I left my backpack home on shorter hikes and quick day adventures. It required a main pouch just large enough for an extra lens, spare battery, cleaning supplies etc. It had to have accessible water pockets for my water and bear spray. Lastly it had to be comfortable and durable. Well, I'm happy to say that I found it with this Drift Lumbar Pack and it's just about perfect and will see many miles of photography adventure with me. I highly recommend this product and have become a real fan of Mountainsmith gear. I will be a return buyer 100%.
really works great to distribute the weight of all my junk in my Tour EVO pack. I hunt grouse with a recurve bow, and our season coincides with chanterelles, so I need the weight distributed well, which the pair does wonderfully, with enough space for a grouse and some mushrooms!
Bought the Divide EVO Daypack for my son to use for school and then for whatever over the weekends. He is 9 and absolutely loves it, especially now that he has a Mountainsmith pack to match his dad. He loves the space to hold his binders, and the outer compartments to hide things! He really loves the sleave that he uses for his school chromebook and then his tablet over the weekend. Now he just wants some Mountainsmith stickers to put on his locker! I told him to take care of it and it will last 30+ years like my Tyrol.
I'm in my early 50s, and I have come to realize that trekking poles are critical safety equipment for me, so I have to be able to trust my poles and I cannot afford to have them fail. I have a pair of 2024 Dolomite 7075 OLS, which was the single-pole version of the Tellurites. I trust them on every hike. I was with a friend a few years ago who was borrowing a pair from me, and he slipped on steep grassy tussocks and landed on one of poles with it bridging two tussocks. He put a 45 degree bend in the lower section, but the pole didn't break and it still worked. Back at home, I was able to unbend it most of the way and it still serves as a loaner pole for guests. That is incredible toughness - these poles are the trekking equivalent of the Scott Series 4 ski poles - bomber equipment you can trust to last and be there when you need it.
The 2024 model has welcome upgrades that addressed some issues with the earlier poles - grippier straps, better and more durable hiking baskets, and replaceable carbide tips. What hasn't changed is the unshakeable confidence I have in these poles. If trekking poles are a nice-to-have comfort issue for you, then look for lighter poles. If trekking poles are critical safety equipment for you look no further and get these!
My Border Collie lives to fetch ChuckIt balls. Yet my 7L Tour and 1L alternative packs weren't fit for the purpose of carrying extra balls / valuables efficiently. Problem solved.
