User Review: The North Face Hot Shot

The North Face Hot Shot
Above: The current Hot Shot, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 4 of 5 stars
Design: Daypack
Size: less than 2000
Number of Pockets: 3
Max. Load Carried: not much <20lbs
Price Paid: $50-60

Very comfortable for light day use. Lacks stiffness and has no frame, but a padded back helps with separating unwieldy contents from the wearer. Quite small. Good use of compression straps. One large compartment and another two small ones in the back of the pack. This space is really one pocket with one zipper, but a fabric divider makes each space ideal for holding water bottles. I would recomend this backpack.
