From REI:
"Ideal for day trips to the backcountry, this women's backpack has the details to make your trip more comfortable. Panel-loading main compartment makes for easy access to gear; interior hydration reservoir pocket has an exit port (reservoir sold separately). Two side zippered pockets keep personal items handy, with pass-thru behind for tent pole storage. Front expandable stash pocket can store a jacket, climbing helmet or additional, bulky or wet gear. Zippered front pocket with interior mesh zip pocket and key clip stores smaller essentials such as sunglasses, ID, keys and cash. Backpanel features breathable airmesh that wicks moisture away from body for increased comfort on the trail. Padded, S-curved, adjustable shoulder straps with a Safe-T whistle sternum strap for increased comfort and a more stable load. Tuckaway, lightly padded hipbelt compresses weight into the lumbar area for a stable, evenly distributed load. Suspension features a delrin hoop that evenly transfers load to waistbelt. HDPE framesheet shields back from hard-edged gear and provides additional load control and support. Angled mesh side pockets keep water bottles and trailside essentials within easy reach. Quick-store bungee, daisy chain and ice axe loop allows you to carry bulky gear outside the pack. Side compression straps and load-lifter straps secure load and adjust weight, keeping pack close to body when scrambling and moving fast. Constructed of 420-denier velocity nylon in main body and 840-denier ballistic nylon for abrasion resistance in high-wear areas. Closeout."

"So REI calls this a woman's backpack? Ha ha. . . news to me. None of the tags or anything else seem to confirm this. That being said. . . this pack has some awesome points and some frustrating ones as well. Overall it's a great pack.

Here's my brief history of this pack:
-bought it for a summer car-camp, dayhike bag."
