    Absolutely love my Flash 55. I've had 30+ lbs. in it and it handled the weight very well. The extra pockets and straps definitely give you plenty of organization options. I've made a couple of very inexpensive and super easy modifications though...
    1) On one shoulder strap, I have a Caribiner with length of para cord made into a loop, attached to the base of the load lifter strap next to the shoulder strap. This holds my 750ml smart water bottle parallel with my shoulder strap. The loop of paracord holding the bottle is long enough for me to take a drink without unclipping the Caribiner from the load lifter. A short piece of shock cord down near the buckle keeps the lower end of the water bottle nice and secure. This leaves the side pockets available for extra water or any other items you'd like to put in them.
    2) I've also installed a "stow-on-the-go" system, similar to the system on the Osprey packs. This makes it super easy to tuck away your trekking poles while on the move without removing your pack, keeping them handy should a need arise later on down the trail.

      Wait, what!? That sounds super awesome and convenient! WOW - I’d love to see a short video or picture. So curious. Do you have IG?

    Love my flash 55,
    Got the same pack but larger size, I’ve packed 25-35 lbs on trips up to 20 miles a day absolutely love this pack since I picked up up middle of last year.
    The water bottle placement as well as the adjustable straps and pack mods have been amazing in comparison to other packs I’ve tried, and very comfortable too.
    Keep up the hard work man!

    Good video. Thanks for sharing. But... The background music is too loud. Competing with your voice. My 2 cents.
