This pack has great features and build quality is good but the fit is lacking. I have several lumbar packs both from Mountainsmith and others so the fitting assessment is not done without some experience. The Drift does exactly what its name implies-drifts down your back and does not stay put. I'm thinking the side panels are not cut correctly. Sorry for the less than positive review. Wish I could return but I've waited too long.

Wish the inside zipper pocket was bigger
I like so much about this, like the bottle holders on either side that came in super handy to carry the kiddos' water bottles on a hot day. They stayed in there well and didnt get in the way! The shoulder strap is comfortable but not bulky and the waist straps are easy to tuck away when not in use. I'm happy to report that it has all the high-quality craftsmanship that we all know, love, and expect from Mountainsmith.That said, I wish the external front pocket had a way to tighten or minimize the top of that front opening, especially since this is where the key clip is. I really dont trust putting anything that I cant live without (e.g., cell phone, wallet) in that pocket because it feels like it could very easily fall out...or get snagged by a thief!Also, the smaller internal zipper pocket is way smaller than expected and certainly not big enough to store a wallet or even a bigger key fob (like mine). When I tried to put anything besides chapstick in there, it was weirdly bulky and made navigating the bigger space in zippered section quite awkward. The space inside that main zippered area is sizeable but, without any dividers or other internal pocketed sections, I found myself digging around a lot in there to find what I was looking for. Seems like an oversight on Mountainsmith's part because they usually think of everything and design their products for maximum utility.I wanted to love this & I've had this on my "wish list" for so long that I'm disappointed to say that this isnt my favorite Mountainsmith purchase. The Drift worked well for flying, navigating the airport, and a day at the zoo with the kiddos but I went back to my little Vibe as soon as I got home. I'm sure I'll find other occasions to bring this out but for now it's just hanging in a closet.
