Suitable for women, some recycled materials used in construction, good tank

I've been a camelback user for a long time - anyone remember ice freeze cylinders that fit in the small openings on tanks? -- and I had several general and specific types of backpacks. This one is more of a "generic" type as it looks more like a typical backpack with a main compartment for gear and side pockets for a small water bottle (maybe a sports drink?), sunscreen, umbrella, small tripod etc. It also has a small front compartment with Zippered closure and a key loop and a couple of mesh pockets for smaller items, plus a bit of storage space for something like a map or granola bar that you might want to stash outside of the main compartment. There are six loops on the outside of the backpack to attach small tools, whistle, compass, etc. with a carabiner or other clamping mechanism. I wouldn't put anything of value in the side pockets, especially if you plan on removing your pack at any point during your adventure - things can fall out easily. Handle, attached lid and antimicrobial treatment. The reservoir is placed in a backpack by inserting the handle into a plastic-reinforced webbing loop. This keeps it in place easily and securely. I probably wouldn't attempt trail running in this pack, although it might be fine unless I crashed pretty hard. Compression straps help manage excess "poof" in your pack and keep your gear secure. They have elastic straps that also help hold up a loose belt, which is handy for keeping organized. The back and body parts of the shoulder straps are made of soft, ventilated material to keep you cool. It works pretty well and my wife says the backpack is comfortable. Features of the "female fit" are associated with the backpack's straps and the location of the chest strap (which is easily adjustable). The point at which the chest strap goes over the chest and its width are of course adjustable and have an elastic band. The backpack straps also point backwards, higher under the armpits than on my backpacks. Keep in mind the recommended torso fit range (15-19 inches) and I think you'll be happy. I think this is a quality backpack big enough for day hikes in temperate climates.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of style
