I was looking for a pack to use on full day trips and I found this beauty. It's perfect for the fast-paced light days up a mountain. With just enough room for food, minor cooking supplies, first aid, and rain gear this is all you need. It will not slow you down, not even in the rain because it comes with a rain cover that conveniently stows away in a pocket when not needed. Another plus is it's out of you way when scrambling and bouldering with it's slim and low profile. I highly recomend for anyone who needs a serious day pack.
