Here's what other sites are saying:

From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. GoLite Men's VO 24 Pack (Spring 2008) The Men's VO 24 Pack by GoLite is just as great on hikes as it is in adventure races, thanks to durable Velocity fabric in the main body and spacer mesh in the back and shoulder straps. There's plenty of room for storage in the large front pocket, two side angled pockets, and bellowed pockets on the hip belt. Though it only weighs 1 lb 9 oz, the VO 24 is definitely a heavyweight when it comes to hauling!"

From Backcountry.com:
"GoLite built the VO24 Pack to give adventure racers and fast packers a functional, purpose-built backpack at a low weight that any ounce-obsessed hiker appreciates. Though this GoLite backpack includes excellent features like a large front pocket and hydration compatibility, it weighs only 1lb 5oz. The VO24 Pack holds just enough gear for a weekend adventure race or overnight backpacking trip with the barest of essentials. GoLite even added a space mesh back panel and shoulder straps to keep you cool while you cover more ground in a day than most backpackers do in a holiday weekend."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"The VO24 is just as great on day hikes as it is in 24 hour adventure races, thanks to durable Velocity fabric in the main body and spacer mesh in the back and shoulder straps. The adjustable sternum strap has a built-in whistle. There's plenty of room for storage in the large front pocket, two side angled pockets, and bellowed pockets on the hip belt. Though it only weighs 1 lb 9 oz, the VO24 is definitely a heavyweight when it comes to hauling! Imported."

From REI:
"Up to 30% Savings during the REI Fall Sale! Plus members save 20% on one full price item. Multisport racers and weekend hikers alike will enjoy this lightweight technical daypack for solid use in all their adventures. Panel-loading main compartment with watertight zipper holds everything from rain jacket to water filter to energy bars. Adjustable bungee drawcord with cordlock is great for lashing on a jacket or gear within easy reach. Large front stretch mesh pocket allows you to stow bulky and quick-access gear such as helmet or PFD. When teammates bonk during races, use the tow loop to literally tow them along. Features contoured, padded shoulder straps, sternum strap with whistle buckle, and contoured air-channel mesh backpanel that hugs the back. Webbing hipbelt stabilizes the load; it comes with two gusseted and zippered pockets for carrying snacks, lip balm, multi-tool or small camera. Internal sleeve holds a 3-liter hydration reservoir (sold separately); twin exit ports for drinking tube allow you hands-free drinking on the trail. Two angled mesh side pockets keep water bottles within easy reach. Constructed with 100% polyurethane-coated nylon for durability and light weight; it's treated to be durably water repellent."

"This pack is very light and compressible. It was no problem scrunching it up in the bottom of my backpacking pack for shorter day hikes. It can hold a fair amount of gear as the front pocket expands and the elastic lashing can also hold a fair amount."
