I like the pack but no internal mesh pocket as discribed.

I like the pack a lot but the hook is useless unless the pack is absolutely full. I'm wondering if NF has remedied this flaw and would appreciate knowing how to fix it. Otherwise, it will have to go back.

Great light weight pack with different sections. It fits more than you'd expect and sits close on my body making it comfortable for hiking or even running. The two side pockets easily fit my 1L drinking bottles for day trips. The one flaw in the design is the hook, it doesn't keep the top attached at all, i ended up using a little z carabiner to fix it so the top doesn't constantly fall open. it does work fine now but a shame because it would have been 5 stars if they had made a better hook mechanism.

Honestly this is perfect for short day hikes! I bought it and loved it so much I bought the bigger version since I wanted to start bringing my drone on hikes

Great light weight pack. Two strange points: The double sternum strap. I feel like one is enough and a second is a bit over kill The second issue with this pack is the hook that comes loose far too easily. Can probably be solved with some sewing to reduce the size of the loop or widening the hook itself. Other than that it a great light weight pack.

Great pack. Broad shoulder straps are comfortable. Hold Camelback water bladder. Good storage pockets with lots of room and adaptability.

Good light weight backup we take with our luggage for vacation spots like Disneyworld.

I use this daypack for hiking and to carry my climbing gear when I go to the climbing gym. It is fantastic! It feels great to wear and has the perfect amount of storage. I like that it's so versatile and can carry more than it looks like it can!

It's the best backpack I've had in 15 years. Great for day hikes!

Bought this for a week of hiking in Grand Teton. Just the right amount of space for day hikes. Very light and very comfortable. Like other comments, the outer pocket strap comes out too easily and too often. Otherwise would have been rated a 5 star

This is a great smaller backpack. It is very comfortable to wear and is perfect for my day hikes. I purchased it for the 29029 Everest Challenge I am taking part in this fall. The helmet holder is removable which is great. It has an externally accessible pouch that is actually great for quick access to items. The only downside is the clip that keeps the external pouch closed frequently comes unhooked. I will likely just put a carabiner on it to fix it. Also, if you plan on take it on and off there are 2 chest straps connecting it which is kind of a pain, one would likely have been better. Otherwise it is a great little pack.

This bag is very light and spacious, it holds a lot of items inside. Up to 3L water bag, it doesn't include it. It has multiple useful pockets and I really liked the design.

Use the bag for trail running and hiking. I'm 5'10" 190lbs. I usually hike around 2 mph and trail run about 4 mph. I'm replacing a 17 year old osprey daylite. I haven't put this bag through the wringer yet, but have put about 100 miles on it. Greatest flaw. I typically use a 2L bladder. The Velcro for the water bladder doesn't hold the water bladder. Usually the Velcro gives out early in the uphill (not even the downhill!) of a hike and then the bladder sits on the bottom of the bag for the rest of the hike/run. Another minor flaw is the metal clip that holds the outside portion of the bag. The bag tends to fall off this clip and fold over. I've tried tightening and loosening the side straps and have had no luck getting the clip to stay attached. The final flaw I've noticed with this bag and similarly with competitor bags is that the chest straps loosen pretty quickly when trail running. This is supposed to be a lite speed bag. I would prefer to not tighten the chest straps every 5 to 10 minutes. I'm excited to take it to high alpine on 20 mile hikes to try additional features of this bag. The helmet carrier worked great. I haven't tried out carrying hiking poles with it yet. The pockets on the sides are deep, which is nice for holding stuff, but hard to reach into without unstrapping the bag and turning it around. The shoulder straps are pretty comfortable. I like the waist strap in addition to the chest straps. It holds the bag closer to the body when running down the mountain.

I absolutely love this bag because it feels so light while out on Trail. Perfect size for any day hike adventures, I can store everything I need and then some. This bag is very comfortable and has great space for its size. I would definitely recommend this product to others.

This pack is perfect for hiking and have also carried rope/helmet into the crag with it. The shoulder straps are awesome and super thoughtful with quick access to my phone, and a place to put sunnies
