NaturehikeHiking Backpack, 30+5L Travel Backpack with Macromolecule Fabric, Hiking Daypack with AIR Backpack System for Women Men

I am new to backpacking. I picked this up to use for overnight trips. I have been packing it on neighborhood walks with sandbags to build up my stamina. Currently, my total pack weight is 29 pounds which is just a few pounds shy of my maximum desirable pack weight.I really like how wide the top opens; it makes it very easy to get things in and out. There is only one pocket inside the main enclosure and while I might have like some compartmentalization, but this is probably more versatile. There is a hole on the top for a water bladder tube but unfortunately there is no hook inside to hang the bag from. The bladder can sit inside the internal pocket, but it will only hold the bottom half. This is probably the only thing that I think is missing on this bag. The main closure zipper is a little finicky when zipping it closed and takes a little wiggling to get it going but otherwise operates smoothly. Once closed, the bag top can be rolled down (like a dry bag) to meet the load. This will be nice to make the bag smaller as food gets eaten. There is no rain cover but it should be reasonably waterproof.There are two side pockets for water bottles, two pockets in the shoulder straps for smaller items like granola bars, a wide but shallow zippered pocket on the back for a jacket or similar, two mesh pockets for wet gear and a pocket on one side of the waist strap. There are plenty of cinch straps, elastic cords and tie-off loops for carrying gear outside the pack.The pack is very comfortable to wear. At almost 30 pounds, it certainly feels heavy when I am hand carrying it, but once on the back it feels much lighter. The shoulder and waist straps are very wide and are easy to adjust. The rigid back plate is helpful to distribute the weight and prevent items from becoming uncomfortable lumps. I very much like the hand straps and wind up using them for most of my walk.The pack seems to be very well made. The nylon buckles are solid. The zipper operates smoothly (once you get it started). It all feels very functional and reliable.I am no expert on backpacks, but I really like this one. I have a larger bag with an internal frame but as long as I can fit all the gear that I need, this will be my go-to pack.

First off, I love the look of this bag, the shape is very aesthetically pleasing and the two-tone black and brown color scheme I got really looks fantastic and sets it apart from the usual brightly colored or accented hiking bags. The layout is fairly basic, but has some nice features like the front compartment split down the middle and a storage pocket in the lid. The materials are really lightweight, the whole bag weighs next to nothing empty and the shoulder straps are generously padded for the size making it comfortable to wear even under load. This is truly a bag that qualifies as ultralight while seemingly not giving anything up in the way of features and comfort and has better build quality than bags twice it's cost. I really don't have any complaints with any aspect of the bag, I think it's excellent and a great value for the price and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it over similar offerings from Osprey or others.

This is a great backpack and very well constructed. For a day-pack it contains everything I need when hiking around in the hills around my area. The comfort and ease of taking things out of it when taking a break is great and the straps are very comfy on my shoulders. The materials are very rigid and sturdy, the backpack itself feels like it can sustain quite a beating and resist allot of damage from sticks and stones. The bag is a bit small if you wanted to backpack with it, you could theoretically ultralight with this backpack if you really don't carry allot. There's allot of adjustments and can fit a variety of people, it's very easy to lend out to friends and significant others while still being easily re-adjusted to my frame. Overall this is a fantastic 30L backpack that has become my daily hiking bag as I go pretty frequently. The build quality and comfort alone are well worth it's price.

I got this 25L backpack for my teen son to use for school, and weekend hiking adventures. It's definitely suitable for both in size, strength, and durability.The interior is roomy enough for school books and notebook; and the exterior is waterproof (including the zippers!) and scratch resistant. It has lots of useful pockets, including one for his water bottle and food/snacks.Well designed, functional style, and versatile for many needs. Excellent quality backpack and good value.
