This day pack is terrific. With an adjustable length, it makes it easy for anyone of any height to wear this comfortably. The sternum strap is a definite advantage, keeping the load well centred on your back. The ability to carry a hydration pack is nice, although I haven't used it. The rain cover came in handy on a wet day in Holland, and the side mesh pockets are ample for holding a good sized water bottle. The only downside, is that the pocket in the bottom where the rain cover stores is curved at the front, and I find that the pack will not stand up straight. Perhaps the idea is to stuff something firm in the front section of that pocket. All in all, a good product for the price.
