Sweet pack. I’m thinking about this for a hunting day pack. I like packing in my cold weather gear and then putting it on at my stand so I don’t sweat as much. Definitely seems like a quality piece of gear.
That waterproof pocket is a great idea! Soo many packs i see put a waterproof zipper on the pocket but the pocket itself is not waterproof... Makes zero sense but this zipper and the pocket is waterproof! Great little day pack or overnight bugout bag. Well thought out!! My kind of pack!
It has held up great. I have not used it for overnight. I have a 50 liter kelty redwing for overnight. That is the minimum size I will personally use for an overnight. I probably carry more gear than others.
Good review. Is that a sewn on patch that can be removed, or is it direct embroidered? Nothing against Maine Fish & Wildlife Service, I'd just prefer the backpack without the logo. Thanks.
I'm glad it doesn't have an admin pouch. It's for the outdoors. I wish the patch was removable and had velcro underneath. The side pouches should be large enough for a standard Nalgene bottle, and because this pack is so "tight" you cannot take advantage of outside pockets without severely entering the inside space. Lastly, the pass/through side pocket should be deigned to use it that way or as a standard pocket like on the other side. This pack should be rethought..
Please let me know if you can put water bottles in both sides of the side pockets. I want to upgrade from my Stowaway pack and I cannot decide between this and the Ridge Runner.
I love this pack, but dislike that the patch is not removable and REALLY dislike that it wasn't designed so that the pass-through pocket could be closed for water bottles, etc.
cool looking pack. I got it but decided to return it because of it's tiny restrictive water bottle pocket. my outdor ewquipment $40 Skylight 9.0 doesn't have the cool patch or the waterproof compartment but runs circles around this one. like I say. I like the patch, the water proof & compartment but there is no internal frame rod. fail water bottle pocket, no side zip entry, no hip belt pockets, and questionable fabrivk poo rone to staining.
Have one, had it for about two years. GREAT knapsack!! You will ❤ it.

It seems like a nice pack. Hope has it held up? Do you still use it? Have you taken it on an overnight campin trip?

trying to decide between this and an osprey talon 22.

no, only on one side. the other side has no bottom, used for fly fishing rods or virtually anything else
