TREAD’S TAKE: Conveniently sized for shorter day trips to help keep the weight down, while saving precious cargo space. The trio of grab handles are nice and sturdy, and the shoulder straps are padded for comfort. We found the back padding to be nice, as it not only keeps your back dry, but also prevents your body heat from touching the pack. The TIZIP zipper is leak proof, but also a bit tough to open and close. The Molle webbing adds functionality for carrying extra outdoor items like flashlights and multi-tools, but lacks any exterior pockets for storage.
