Pros & Cons
Pros
The bag opens wide enough, certainly wider than the mouth of a rolltop. The main compartment is large and i developed a method of using large 2 gallon ziplock bags to compress my clothes and utilize the space efficiently. The closure system allows for... Read More
Product is fantastic. Absolutely phenomenal. It's not the cheapest backpack you can buy, but it's worth every penny.
John, usvi. Don't hesitate. Heck yes. This bag is. This one isn't bad.
The bag features adjustable back pack straps with a padded hip strap. The top of the shoulder straps have a adjustable buckle chest strap. Only complaint is that after 1 week of usage the main closure buckle started to come apart.
This bag is an exceptionally well built pack. It's easy to use, lightweight and can hold a pretty good amount of stuff. My only problem is that it was too big for me.
Cons
The fatal flaw of this pack is the poor quality sewing. This is a major problem since the hole opened into the main chamber.
Highlights
Quality
It is nice to have easyaccessible pockets without having to open the entire bag with the roll system and all
Overall this is a really great bag if you dont overdo it with the side compression straps a bit on that later
Its been a year since i purchased this product
If i were traveling to a more remote place i would find something higher quality
Packaging/appearance
My favourite part of the backpack is the two pockets in front of the pack
After a 20 minute rescue to get the kayak and backpack stuffed with all my gearclothes i was amazed that all of my contents wer... Read More
It kept everything inside of the bag bone dry
I was flown into the branches and dragged underneath the water
Competitiveness
Finally a large pack for daily use that i do not have to cover with a rainproof cover
Aqua quest has a 30l backpack specifically for bicycling but i wanted the extra pouches and compartments the stylin bag offers
Im sending it back for the smaller 20l size
Luckily i was able to untangle myself and was carried down the river untili swam to the shore

This kind of damage should not happen with such light usage

I live in seattle and commute by bicycle and it was very important for me to have a completely waterproof bag that also had a bright attention grabbing color for visibility i got the red and thats what i got

Just as a note though the side compression straps probably shouldnt be used to hold anything other than maybe a rain jacket or some other article of clothing something light weight and not too bulky i tried to use the side compression straps to hold a yoga mat a small backpacking tent and a sleeping pad at different times which put too much stress on the points where the straps are sewn onto the bag and they ended up breaking

However the backpack straps are pitiful

Both have broken on mine and ive repaired them by sewing with heavy gauge thread stapling and shrinkwrap to seal that works better than new but i think im going to return it

Honestly anyone developing products will hit bumps good products are those that are iteratively developed as flaws become apparent

I have been rained on once pretty hard and it was bone dry on the inside but the front zip pocket had some drops inside but that could have been from when i opened it to look inside
