Really liked my smaller sized Windrider but wanted a larger size to carry more gear when I hike with my wife. Did a bit of research but decided to go with the simplicity vs some of the other options with more bells and whistles and it’s worked really well for me.

Exceptionally comfortable and well made! It handles all my needs and gear for both the harsh Arizona desert and the high Sierra Nevada’s.
