Great sleek daypack
a month ago
Fantastic day pack for travel while cruising around your destination as a day pack. I was hesitant of the size at first because I am a family man I carry things for my wife and two daughters. I am able to fit 4 water bottles-double walled stainless steel, 2-20oz and 2-16oz, light jackets for the 4 of us. Jackets ranging from Squamish wind breaker to 2 fleece zip ups and youth size jacket with room to spare and was comfortable on the shoulders. I can see this bag perfect for day out adventures from the mountains to the urban adventures.

Very nice and practical
a month ago
The backpack is very nice, the perfect capacity for one day and beautiful colors. I use for walking in the mountains and climbing via ferrata, actually it had been a long time I have been looking for a 16lt backpack that nice and practical, the only thing that may-be I would have liked more is the upper front pocket a little bit deeper
I use this product for:Climbing, Mountaineering, Ski/Snowboard
Yes, I recommend this product.

Pockets don't make sense!
4 months ago
Backpack looks good, however, there are a couple design flaws in regards to the pockets that seem negligent. There is a small inside pocket that flops over and blocks the computer sleeve pocket within the large compartment (this computer sleeve is big enough for a 14" MacBook Pro). Additionally, there is one other pocket accessible from the outside that is tiny, with clear room just in front of it to add a larger pocket built into the front of the bag. In total this bag has just this one small pocket, one large compartment, and one very small pocket within this large compartment. Not ideal for any organization.
Q: Pros:
A: Sturdy back, large main compartment
Q: Cons:
A: pockets
I use this product for:Commuting/Travel, Hiking

Hey I’ma super fan of this brand from buying their hats to weather jacket but this bag let me down a bit. Went camping (Yosemite) and I would say flimsy but def not strong enough for some camping. Love the brand tho and what you stand for 👍🏽

Best looking backpack
7 months ago
Best looking backpack I know of. This is the perfect backpack for my climbing gear. It has room for a harness, shoes and my chalk bag. It's also really easy to boulder with I just wear it backwards with a crash pad on my back. I wouldn't suggest this for school because the zippers are really loud and it gets narrower as it goes down so it doesn't hold binders well. It's perfect for outdoors though.
Q: Pros:
A: Comfy, durable and good looking

Very Light and Sturdy Versatile Backpack (white)
7 months ago
I purchased this backpack for daily commuting, but it surprisingly holds quite a lot. The interior pocket easily fits my MacBook Air 13.6", keeping it separate from other items. Additionally, the backpack is very sturdy; when I tighten the shoulder straps, it doesn’t swing while I’m walking. The material is lightweight and durable—holding the empty bag feels as light as a single-sleeve shirt.
I also use it for one-day hiking or trail running. It comfortably carries essentials without adding weight, and the sturdy design makes it perfect for active use.
