The Marmot Ultra Kompressor Pack is a steal for its value. You have to order this pack online because the alarm will go off in the store if you try to walk out after purchasing it. So not kidding. This ultralight backpack is, well, ultralight, and ultra-compressible (three points of compression!) to boot. Despite all that, this versatile pack offers loads of features including mesh stash pockets, comfy shoulder straps, and a removable back panel.

I am able to carry a lunch, two small sweaters and two rain jackets as well as water bottles on the outside. The shape of the inside of the pack (deep and skinny) always keep the load balanced. If you want to bring along some towels or snorkel/fins you can strap it down easily with the compression straps. The pack isn't awkward and floppy when there is not much inside. I can put in a sweater and a book and pull the compression straps tight to make it stable.The layout of the bottle holders and outside pocket leaves nothing to be desired. The problem lies in the webbing itself. I slipped in a bottle and the webbing tore. but it makes me think that I may have to be more gentle in the future.
