Zippered vest pocket could be
Zippered vest pocket could be slightly larger to more easily accommodate phones and this pack would benefit from a roll top and stretchy side pockets but with that being said it’s comfortable to run with and has minimal bounce when fully loaded.

Great bag
I love how comfortable this bag is. It looks good, it's compact, and the weight distribution makes it very comfortable to carry lightweight gear on fast trecks

Great capacity for a single light fastpack overnight or ultra long alpine run. Great features, low movement and stoked for ice axe carry and helmet carry. Need it for fastpack early season in the Juans

Great pack for big climbing days
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I've only used it for one weekend in the Valley so far, but covered 27 pitches so can say with some basis this pack was great for moving fast and holding everything we needed. It easily held 4L of water, gear, layers, and snacks. And even when it was fully loaded I barely noticed it. One complaint is there isn't a built in internal pocket to secure keys or similar. But there are places you could attach something to that affect yourself.

Killer hybrid pack
I was looking for durable pack that didn’t sit on my hips and hugged close. So many convenient pockets and just an overall great bag. Highly recommend!

Good but bouncy
Great design overall but there needs to be a waist strap. I’ve had to make my own otherwise it keeps moving and will cause chafe on long runs. Not sure how they didn’t think of this when designing. I wouldn’t have paid full price but considering it’s half off then I think it’s a good price for a product that needs extra work. Otherwise 10/10!

Love it, but it's not for running
I love the pac and was able pare down my gear enough for a 4 day summer backpacking trip with food etc. through the Sierras (beyond ultralight). My one gripe is that I bought it for fast packing (I know it's not designed for this application) but it bounces far too much when running with a load. I had intended to fast pack that trip, but could only hike because the bouncing made running impossible for me. I like the capacity, closure, comfort I'm 5'9" and 160 and I believe I bought the Medium. This will become my daypack for fishing. The hiking pole sleeves are great for carrying Tenkara rods... I'm still in the market for a 20-30 liter fast packing/running pack.

Perfect large running pack
Have used it on 2 longer runs so far, fits everything I need (including my full complement of emergency gear), puffy, jacket, food and water. Great attachment points, fits nicely and didn't have any problems with it moving around too much during running even when fully weighted.

So good
Took it on a three day trip through the Beauforts on Vancouver Island. Stuffed it. Worked really well.
