" ... Such a great light weigh backpack and can fold into itself for a bag. ... Perfect bag - lots of pockets. ... "
" ... A couple of surprising features to note, inside the main compartment there are two sleeves one can be used for a hydration bladder, the other sleeve is on the opposite side, is more shallow and makes separating gear and balancing the load easier which is a huge plus. ... The two water bottle pockets are large and easily hold 1 liter bottles, there are also cinch straps above the pockets to secure the bottles and cinch down the pack. ... "
