5 out of 5 stars Finally a day pack that I forget is on my back!   May 2, 2009
James Preston (Santa Clara, CA United States)
10 out of 10 found this review helpful

I've had more than a few packs since a rucksack in 1961. I've always hated day packs because their suspension system isn't comfortable if you actually put more in the pack than napkin or two.

I put a 2 liter water bladder in it, filled of course, along with my mountain bike tools and first aid stuff, and biked into the rugged Henry Coe State Park backcountry.

Coe is famous for its tough climbs and a rescue was underway when we arrived. The roads and trails were designed for ranchers with horses and Jeeps, not backpacking and mountain biking. If a piece of equipment is going to act badly this is the place where it will happen. Specialized tests their bikes there.

We biked and hiked the bikes over 2,000 feet of climbing and dropped down narrow technical trails for 10 miles. The pack was never uncomfortable. It was no more annoying than having a wallet in your back pocket.

I bought a 2 liter water bladder because I thought that more weight would be uncomfortable. I'll probably buy a 4L for my longer summer trips. The bladder area of the pack looks like it has this capacity and the pack may support it and still be comfortable.

My next use will be for trail work in the Ventana Wilderness near Big Sur, California. Last summer's huge fire left the trails in a mess. It will be a rugged test for sure. I'll change my review if the pack performs differently.
