I use this pack everyday to carry my books and homework in and on the weekends I use it as an ultralight backpack for camping. It's durable and made out of rip-stop nylon. It's perfect for multi-purpose life. It has an organization pocket, a compression strap on either side, 2 bottom compression straps and 2 mesh side pockets for water bottles. The 1.5 inch waist belt is not low enough on my waist for it to be effective. The shoulder straps are wide and firm enough to carry heavy loads comfortably. They say the back padding is made out of moisture wicking material, but my back still gets just as wet as normal. I had to modify a hydration tube exit hole. All in all, it's a great multi-function pack and perfect for what I use it for and how much money a po' student can pay.
