Trail Vista 20 Backpack

Vista 20

Great pack, well designed, looking forward to using in Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons.

Travel/hiking workhorse

I love the simplicity of this pack alongside the functionality. I am not a fan of packs with too many zippers and compartments - I don't want to be unzipping 3 times to get to something in my bag. Give me simple, functional, and straightforward! This bag hits the mark on both fronts. There's a place for everything without there being 80 pockets. The hip belt is structured enough to be functional/help distribute the pack weight, but not so bulky that it looks ridiculous if I am just using the pack for a walk around town while on vacation. I like the two pockets on the belt: one has a zip for items that need to be more secure, one is just a quick-access stretchy pocket for things that you want to keep at the ready. The back stretch panel is robust and big enough to fit a surprising amount of extra stuff. Side panels are actually big enough to fit a typical outdoorsy water bottle (hallelujah!) There's enough space for a day hike (but tight if you're looking for anything more). Style points 10/10 outdoor chic (got the gray color). Love the size adjustability (super fast and easy to adjust everything; torso length, straps, etc. ) - my 6'4" husband and I often take turns with the pack and either of us can carry this (it's a bit small on him, of course, but the shareability is so much better than previous packs we've owned). 10 out of 10 would recommend. Sidenote: If I was still a cool badass like I was in my 20s, I'd also say this could function well as a great little climbing daypack, especially with the torso-length adjustability. . . just shorten it up to accommodate your harness.

Very nice and versatile day pack that is well suited for fast packing and comfortable enough for trail running. It’s a highly functional pack that is also lightweight, with well placed and easily accessible features for poles, phone, hydration, and snacks.
