The perect urban backpack: lets you slide through airports, crowded airplanes, cabs, and better places with the greatest of ease. A large snowboarder's pack, but slimmer and less protruding than a book bag type pack. Built to carry about 30 lbs tops, not overbuilt and therefore not heavy. Black model blends well with typical airport luggage. Easy to carry for quick on-off hops, design is vertical and the straps stay on your shoulder without the sternum strap and waist belt. Not a lot of external straps and pockets to snag on everything under the sun. Excellent for 1-3 day trips. No internal water bladder pocket; use a Platypus bladder instead and you are good to go.
