Quality

I was a little unsure at first, but once I got it set up for my needs I was good to go. Lightweight and can carry as much as I would want or need. Seems to be very durable and is quite comfortable. Highly suggest!

I typically think short term reviews are useless, but I can say the pack fits correctly. I am 5’9” and the Medium is perfect when loaded. I replaced the foam pad with another made from an old sleeping pad that was still in good repair. I can recommend this change. I keep my water bladder in the knit pocket and use the strap that cinches the top closed to hang it so it does not sag. It made no sense to me to put water inside the bag and have it sweat or leak. The hip belt is excellent- how it distributes the load is a marked improvement over the Deuter Speedlite 30 I have walked 2700 miles with. Ultrlight as an end in itself does not make sense to me, but this pack and the X-mid tent manage to be practical improvements to my hiking setup for the Shikoku pilgrimage.
