Great backpack! I like that it is water resistant incase I get caught in the rain. It is lightweight so it's great for trips where you don't need to carry heavy items but want a bag incase you have a few things. I used this on some very short hikes in NC and also some trails in FL.  The only things I had in my bag were snacks and water. The only thing I wish it had was an open mesh pocket on the side.  It would have been nice to put a bottle of water there to keep handy instead of having to take my backpack off to grab my water.  If this design gets that upgrade I would certainly purchase another!
