I'm writing this review to save other people from buying this day pack. It's a pain in the arse, poorly designed and poorly made.

First thing, it has a lumbar support thing which just makes it feel like theres something sticking into your back.

Second thing, I put some stuff in it, picked it up and the top plastic strap attachment broke.

Third, the shock cord on the back won't hold crampons securely.

Fourthly, the ice axe attachment buckle is small and fiddly and in just the same place where the lid buckle comes down.

Fifth, the whole thing is so floppy that when its not fully full the ice axe droops and gets stuck on anything available.

Need I go on? Every time I use this pack it annoys me. Time to get another.
