The old Drift had 2 nice pockets inside, for a phone and tool kit. The new zipper pocket doesn't have a clear use... car keys??
Would also have preferred a zippered outside pocket as well.

So close : “Missed it by this much!”.
It could do w/a couple, three more liters of capacity, front pocket can’t be trusted holding anything w/more density than paper, delta straps are not effective securement for eyeglass cases in the side pockets or pretty much anything other than a waterbottle.

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.

not for me
