I originally bought this pack to take on a Baltic Cruise with my wife. This pack was amazing. I carried 2 light jackets and two raincoats, water bottles and bladder, 2 cameras and still had room for our shopping stuff. It carried extremely well, had much more comfort than another trip we took when I carried a jansport school backpack for the same job. I really like the suspension ans the off the back air flow has been pleasant on some wilderness treks in warmer weather. Built in rain cover is deploy able without removing the pack with a little ingenuity. A great buy if you're looking for a day pack.
A slim profile, well made day pack. Works well also as a carry-on for minimalist traveling. The person who said that it extends above the head must be very oddly shaped. Above the shoulders maybe, yes. If you like top-loading daypacks with plenty of pockets (not many of those out there, you may have noticed), give it a try.
At first I was slightly skeptical of the compressed size of the pack out of the box thinking it wouldn't be big enough to hold my gear. Once I undid the straps and opened it up my worries were curbed. It's big enough to handle my larger loads (ropes, harnesses, layers, etc) when I want it too and can slim down significantly for those short day hikes. The air comfort feature creates a space between the pack and your back avoiding the dreaded pack sweat. The top of the pack does go higher then the shoulders which isn't ideal if you're trying to scramble up some rocks or dodge a fallen tree but overall very comfortable and carries a decent load with ease.
I ended up returning this pack after trying it out on some dayhikes. The back was stiff and the pack was not nearly breathable enough. Great raincover. Pack also extends above wearer's head, making it kind of unwieldy for city use backpacking around Europe. I'd recommend buying a pack with back suspension instead.
This backpack is comfortable and durable. Superior to similar designed backpacks. I guess it will able to use for many years to come. Perfect to make trips for one or two weeks.
