Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was a little skeptical of this pack at first but decided to give it a try anyway. I’m very familiar with backpacking with heavy loads and have the the right pack to do so if I need to. However this pack is more of a lightweight overnight camping/hunting pack. I loaded this pack down with a hammock, under quilt, camera bag, two tripods and a tree tent. It all fit with ease with some room to spare as weighed in at 20 pounds. The main compartment on the bag has a waterproof rip stop liner that appears to do a good job of keeping the contents dry. There are multiple pockets and straps around the pack that are very handy for carrying additional accessories including a pocketed hood which I found very convenient for accessing my go pro or phone. I will probably use this pack as a lightweight option for day hikes or just simple camping trips where a internal frame isn’t needed. For testing purposes I did put a scuba tank in the pack just to see how it performed with heavier loads. I put the pack in and adjusted it so the weight rested on my waist instead of my shoulders. The pack weighed in at 40 pounds but seemed to handle the weight fine there was no major discomfort to speak of but I feel that I was pushing the limits of the material and wouldn’t risk a long hike with that much weight in the pack. In conclusion I’m satisfied with the design and workmanship of this pack. I would like to See some heavier buckles and straps but that would drive up the price. For the price it is a very capable light weight pack that will serve me well if I don’t overload it
