Fantastic outdoor bag

I love this bag. Although the bag is small, its shape, organization and zipper are perfect for maximizing the space available, allowing me to fit more stuff and access the contents without having to unpack everything. The side pockets will actually fit a larger/taller water bottle (although they will indent slightly into the main compartment and reduce the capacity of the main pocket). Comfortable hydration bladder, easy to fill and hold even when wet. It doesn't have a quick release buckle so you have to skip the tube every time you fill it. The snorkel sling is simply a hook on the chest strap that uses friction to hold the snorkel in place. You can add a magnetic clip but you cannot remove the hook as it is part of the chest strap slider. The torso length suits my short torso and the specific feminine design suits my build well. The angle of the shoulder strap attachment isn't ideal for me and the shoulder straps are quite thick so they don't fit as well as the flex straps but still feel good. I'm wearing a 18-20W top and the chest strap is long enough for me. Unfortunately there is no waist/hip strap (wish there was one that wouldn't move even though it's a small bag). Maybe it's just me, but I wish these pockets had a good place to put pins. You can poke them through the daisy chain but they're never very stable and it looks weird to have two rows of pins down the sides of your backpack lol. Get to work Camelbak! By the way, the Helena 20 bag is very similar to this one, but with a few design differences and a little more capacity. I like the bags better here, but I like everything else about Helena better. It has a waist belt and an additional compression strap and a very useful storage pocket on the front. I would recommend considering this bag if you are looking at this one.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Useless features
