"This pack is an absolute game-changer! Took it for a National Park trek and the waist support is straight-up legendary. It felt so weightless, I honestly forgot I was even carrying it. Pure hiking bliss!"
"fits well, is lightweight, lots of storage options, including exterior crisscross straps. I have not tried yet, but I think I can even put a soft flask into one of the front straps. The top zipper is clearly designed to keep out dust and moisture. hopefully it will stand the test of hiking, running and use!"
"This pack is very well built, and has lots of pockets for storage. The harness is reminiscent of a running pack and hugs the body well."
"love the size and quality of this bag! Cannot wait to take it out with me on my ski tours!"
"Love this backpack - perfect for day for all my day hikes and travelling between cities. Enough space to carry layers, snacks and still have room for potential purchases! I did, however, unfortunately lose one half of one of the chest clips and am wondering if it is possible to order a replacement part."
"I love this pack for lightweight missions - the shoulder straps are perfect and don't rub in the arm pits like other similar kinds. Surprisingly spacious for a long day hike and compact enough for a trail run."
"I’m 66 and have a deformity of my upper back. My physical therapist recommended this pack. It is the first one I’ve been able to wear all day without pain. With very little weight riding on my shoulders, my hips can carry the load. I am buying the bigger pack now and I’m excited to be able to take overnight hikes again!"
"Love it!"
"After trying close to 8 backpacks from various top brands for my short frame I was super excited to see how the pursuit 15 hugged me and fit me well. I needed something small for my weekend hikes and am super happy with this that I ordered the pursuit 30 for longer hikes. Can’t wait to try it."
"This day pack is the perfect size for me. I struggle to find a backpack that works for my petite frame and this one fits the bill. It's large enough to fit everything I need for a day hike, and the side straps are very comfortable."
