I picked this backup up during my first trip to Colorado back in July. Prior to this, during hikes with my family I was stuck lugging bottles of water around for everyone. I have used this backpack on numerous hikes and also on both mountains I have climbed…I love it. It is lightweight, comfortable to wear and obviously makes accessing water much easier.
However, keep in mind that this is only a daypack. It is roomy but not roomy enough to handle any overnight gear. Also, I have the largest capacity water bladder (100 oz./3 liters) and I have run out of water (close to the end) on both of my mountain climbs. This concerns me, as I feel that I should be drinking even more water than I am.
On my next climb, I am going to carry two water bladders. I am going to borrow my wife’s bladder (uhh…that might not sound right…you know what I mean), which is a little smaller at 2 liters. So, I am going to carry 5 liters of water with me total. This will probably be pretty bulky at first but after a few hours of drinking it will be fine. Overall, this is a great backpack and I highly recommend it. I use it all the time, even when I am not climbing.
