Features

In terms of features, you can remove the back panel frame sheet in this and roll the pack up into a tiny space. It’s ultra-light. It’s an incredibly light pack. You don’t understand how pleasurable that is until you’ve spent a couple of days walking around with this. When you start to realize that so many backpacks now weigh over a kilogram, just losing that and having a pack that weighs almost nothing - especially if it’s little trips about town or while you’re away, little boat trips - you start to delight in that lightweight feel. You understand why the straps don’t need as much padding, why you don’t need a waist belt, because there’s just less weight in it.

"This bag is for someone active who travels a lot. We found it works best as a daypack in that classic sense of a lightweight simple pack for travel or a trip around town..."

Take it away with you when you go traveling; roll it up, shove it in your suitcase or the pocket of another bag. When you get to a new city you can take it out and throw in a jumper or a water bottle or a couple of snacks. It’s amazing for roaming a city. You won’t look like a tourist, you won't be paying a weight penalty. This is basically one of the best ultra-light backpacks we’ve ever used for that sense but it’s robust and durable enough that you can also use it in a daily setting.

Having said that, if you do want to carry big, bulky items or you’re often lugging around an old-school MacBook Pro or something, there are better packs out there for those purposes.
