Maelstrom Hiking Backpack,Camping Backpack,40L Waterproof Hiking Daypack with Rain Cover,Lightweight Travel Backpack,Blue

What is amazing is the day pack feels Lighter when it is on and filled - than when I lift it alone by hand !Likely due to well thought out and tested fit. Great start !Many good features for the price - especially when compared to competitors that cost $100 more !Description is not clear or comprehensive, so let me try to add something useful --Has Hip belt with (slightly too small pockets).All straps are nicely adjustable.I need shoulder-strap-pockets - but will have to get add-ons from another manufacturer.Has pocket for Hydration which can also be used for a Laptop. I was hoping for 2 separate pockets for water and laptop - but for the price - I'll live with it.Several other pockets internally.One can be used for quickly needed or valuable stuff - but its too small to handle a large wallet and much else.Good zippers.Has a separate water proof bag for wet clothes. Bag is not attached so it can be put in either large main gear pouches.Obligatory Whistle works - but is anemic & doesn't work if you blow too hard.Recommended.

Great hiking packing with a sizeable amount of space. We've used this backpack on about 6 hikes now and it has been super comfortable. The straps make the load feel much lighter than you'd expect since it distributes the weight. Don't see any tears as of now even after over stuffing it 2 times. The water bag is good for what's included but is a little difficult to clean and dry because of the shape. Would be nice if they had a easy to drain cap at the bottom.

This is a good quality backpack, that looks great too. It's just about max size for airline carry-on, but because it's not a firm suitcase, ground crew generally allow it as a carry-on item, especially if you show that it can be compressed (e.g. soft goods, like clothing inside). It's lightweight and adjustable to fit most adults. I like the color and design too. This backpack traveled with me to a few EU countries and South Africa since I purchased it. Nice product!

Brought the 40L pack as my only luggage on a week long camping trip to Kauai, it worked great and I used it as a carry-on bag for my flight. I had it completely full and it was still comfortable to carry for hours at a time (got up to about 25 lbs). The straps on the bottom were able to extend enough to carry my sleeping bag and I used the load straps on the upper part of the bag to hold a blanket and hoodie for easy access. The side pockets fit my 32 oz Nalgene.My only issue is that the smaller zipper pocket had a broken zipper by the last day of my trip. I overstuffed the large compartment and it was totally fine, but the small compartment which literally just held my toothbrush, tooth paste, bar of soap, and wash cloth had a busted zipper. The zippers not totally unusable, it can still be tracked back and forth to make the compartment appear properly zipped but it just falls back open after a minute. I intentionally put less important items in the smaller compartment since I read other reviews with similar issues, but it was still a bit annoying.

Bought this backpack to take to Bali next week. Received today and it seems like it will work just fine. It's very roomy and I love the plastic zipper bag that comes with it to put my travel bottles in. I will be taking this as my carry on on the plane. Excited to see how it holds up but seems like it will be perfect.

Lightweight. Lots of pocket options. On the large side for bringing as a personal item on flights but we just left some open space to make it fit. Liked the purple color and got compliments from others on the look. Easy to use and wear.

Great value, comfortable with good design and good placement of pockets. Stealthy and slim enough for daily driver, might be challenging to load enough gear for actual backpacking trips, but the weight distribution is excellent.

I loved this hiking backpack and it did what it supposed to do it held a 3 liter hydration bladder , a first aid kit , a snake bit kit , and a bunch of snacks. It held more than my other bag did and I was happy . Unfortunately I can longer used it due to the fact that a squirrel chewed a massive hole into it ( sad face )but it any ways it was a great backpack .
