From REI:
"REI Traverse daypack has plenty of pockets for convenient organization and a contoured fit for traipsing along trails in comfort. Molded-foam backpanel is designed to improve body contact comfort, with channels for air circulation to keep your back cool and dry. Contoured, padded shoulder straps and waistbelt wrap around to offer comfortable support under pack load. Internal sleeve accommodates the hydration reservoir of your choice; dual exit ports mean drinking tube can be routed on either side of pack. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) framesheet supports heavy loads and protects your back from bulky or pointy items. Front essentials compartment has a water-resistant zipper and a mesh pocket for important items such as multi-tool, headlamp or compass. Top pocket with water-resistant zipper has room to stash smaller items such as credit cards, ID, loose change and keys. Mesh ''cockpit'' pocket on waistbelt provides a handy place for frequently accessed items such as sunscreen, lip balm or snacks. Side mesh pocket creates convenient storage and on-the-go access to water bottle, sunscreen, snacks or small electronics. Side compression straps let you cinch down loads for jostle-free carrying. Front panel lash points give you the option to strap on bulky gear; single ice axe loop stows away when not in use, tucking away into bottom slot. Constructed of 630-denier nylon oxford, offering high abrasion resistance with low weight; polyurethane coating for weather resistance."

I've had the pack for nearly 9 months and used it for short and long day hikes. The zipper to the main compartment started to become problematic, with the "teeth" on it wearing out so much so that I couldn't fully close the zipper. When I returned it to REI customer service to exchange for a different brand they gave me a run-around, despite REI's claim of 100% satisfaction guarantee.

"Organization, Organization, Organization. Did I mention this pack is oragnized. I never found myself searching and rooting around the pack for something, I always knew exactly where everything was. Took the pack on a Ranier ascent, as well as a Kings Canyon trip, and a Colorado week-long trip, and it never once let me down."

"Bought this beauty when it went on sale at REI a few months ago. Purpose-bought for a recent Grand Canyon hike. This baby accompanied me all the way down the South Kaibab trail to the Colorado river and back up the Bright Angel. . . all in one day."

"Absolutely love the pack. The main reason I bought this pack after searching for weeks for a pack was because of the many compartments that it has to offer. The best part has to be the access that you have to your pack even when it is on your back, water, two zipper pockets, and two mesh pockets on the belt, which means you stop less and cover a lot more ground."

"I had been waiting for this awesomely laid out pack to go on sale. A great little daypack when all you need is your basics, hydration, room for a sweatshirt, and food.

An aluminum stay towards the bottom keeps the pack off of your back, allowing for greater circulation."
