I used and abused this bag for 8+ years of Scout camp and day hikes and weekend trips. I wore it out at the shoulders, and the mesh bottle-holders, and some zipper pulls, but I was able to make repairs with sewing thread and duck tape. I still love this bag a bunch, but have finally decided it's time to replace it. The zippers are finally failing.Thankfully, I found the exact same model here on Amazon! This time in snazzy red instead of plain gray. So happy!I really like the layout of pockets that this bag features. And it's just the right size, not too big or too small. I don't use the hydration feature. I usually put documents like boarding passes and maps and passports in the zipped compartment where the water bladder should go. Also the felt-lined top pocket is great to keep my phone and sunglasses and other stuff that would get lost in the bigger compartments. Sternum strap is a key feature also.Perfect bag. Hopefully this one will last me another 8+ years of camping and travel!Perfect size for day hikes. Lots of pockets to organize and store items in smaller compartment. Large compartment fits everything I need for the day. One set back is they flopped the shoulder strap adjustment from the usual way. You don't pull down on the straps from the chest area. It's at the bottom where the straps meet the bag. Gotta feel around for them and pull up. Maybe just not used to it, though never had a bag adjust that way. 5 stars if that was changed.I love this style of pack so much that I've bought it 3 times in 3 color schemes. It has the best set up I've come across - from strap placement to reservoir pocket location. It also has lots of pockets and a practical design that allow me to carry everything I need. It's been a super star out on the trail, at music festivals, and even traveling for work/leisure.*I'm a small individual and am estatic when I find something that 'fits' me. This pack does just that - feels good to carry, even when loaded up, without being too big and making me look like a child!*Love the new hydration pack- cane brand new in excellent shape. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because the parts I thought would be grey were black :(. But the bag is great.Best bag ever! if it was waterproof... but its not. It does however have many pockets, big and small. The best thing about this is that there's a strap to hold my GoPro for hikes and such. I used to use my labtop bookbag for everything, but this took over easily. Its very lightweight and is comfortable to wear. The price is almost unbeatable...I have only used this a couple times, but LOVE it so far, I will update this review if my opinion changes / I have more comments about it.The hydration pack is great, works really nice, keeps very cold for a long time, and 2 liters is great amount for hike/bike/activies.The pockets are sturdy and awesome, zippers are solid, and have nice finger hooks. The whole pack sizes really nicely and had TONS of storage for all sorts of items.I am happy with this backpack. It would be 5 star feedback, however, it is ONE STAR because I never got the "600ml BPA Free squeeze bottle" that was advertised.ANYWAYS,I will be brief and try to answer some of the questions that I had about this product before I bought.I can fit more than I initially thought I could.. 20L (had to lookup on their website) but honestly, to me it feels like it is a little bit moreI am a traveler and always had backpacks. Im confident that this one will last for for many years.If the bladder is full, I can still fully pack the backpack without any discomfort or inconvenience to remove items (I also keep all my stuff inside the backpack inside a water proof bag, just in case it ever leaks) It has what they call "last drop system" and has a quick snap nozzle. I am always careful with this stuff because I know that is where you need to be careful.It is 100% polyester and made in china.gamer laptop 15" will fit snug with still a lot of room to pack.The camel back doesnt work well, the design of the hose left water dripping all the time and air when I drink. The backpack is great tough.Esta mochila la uso para escalar, tenía mis dudas acerca de su capacidad pero resultó bastante espaciosa cabe todo lo que necesitaba y sobraba espacio. La calidad es muy buena y la cantimplora se puede llenar y lavar fácilmente. La manguera es de buena calidad y no tiene fugas.Muy buen producto, exactamente lo que esperaba, se ve de buena calidad, y se siente cómoda y espaciosa, definitivamente estoy satisfecho con la compra, recomendable ampliamente.Felicitaciones a la logística de Amazon pues lo que he pedido ha llegado en tiempo, de hecho anticipadamente, excelente trabajo.Costo beneficio es un excelente producto, los materiales son buenos y la vejiga que trae parece ser de la misma calidad.Solo un detalle no es especifica o no se parecia bien y es el tamaño, resulta ser un poco más pequeña de lo esperado pero de cualquier manera tiene el espacio suficiente para guardar un cambio completo, algunos aperitivos y tener tu vejiga llena.I got this at a very marked down price of $15 CAD. Great for the price.Es un Buen producto, es de calidad esperada, tardo un poco ,es ampliamente recomendable y coincide con las características presentadas!
