Maelstrom 40L Hiking Backpack, Lightweight Camping Daypack with Rain Cover | Water-Resistant Rip-Stop Nylon, Wet/Dry Separation, Multi-Pockets, Survival Whistle. Ideal For Men, Women, Travel, Trekking

I carried this backpack loaded with drinks and rain gear weighing about 25 lbs through all 4 Disney parks. This back pack held up great! The waist belt and chest clip helped to distribute the weight and keep it comfortable! The side pockets are deep enough the the heavier water bottles did not fall out. I loved it and will be purchasing it again for my friends!!

Well designed and constructed with many useful pockets and functions. Easy, multi-point adjustments allow comfortable fit. Room for a water bladder and everything else. The rain fly is a nice touch and easy to get on quickly. The pockets in the belt are the best, I can grab my phone for pictures without taking everything off. Such a great deal and has lasted through a few trips already with no issues.

This backpack is awesome for my needs. I use it for hiking, going to the gym, and going to work. Its light-weight, durable, and extremely affordable. There are many compartments for all sorts of different items I need to carry, including a couple that I didnt even discover until months after purchase. The first one lasted me a few years before one or two of the zippers started acting up. At the price point, I was pretty happy about that lifespan. I was pleasantly surprised that, instead of being 100% identical, one of the compartments had an extra zipper that made that pocket so much more useful. Highly recommended from someone like me who puts a lot more hard-core miles on backpacks than the average person.

Took this bag on a two week trip. Good size, good amount of space, doesn’t have a very stiff spine in it. The stitching becomes visible once you fill the bag, which looks like it’s about to burst, however, it hasn’t burst. It’s done a good job and for the price it’s about all you can ask for. I’d probably spend a bit more on one that doesn’t look like the stitching isn’t about to give out next time. Just to know it’s dependable. Felt fairly comfortable fully loaded. Pretty light weight!

What is amazing is the day pack feels Lighter when it is on and filled - than when I lift it alone by hand ! Likely due to well thought out and tested fit. Great start ! Many good features for the price - especially when compared to competitors that cost $100 more ! Description is not clear or comprehensive, so let me try to add something useful -- Has Hip belt with (slightly too small pockets). All straps are nicely adjustable. I need shoulder-strap-pockets - but will have to get add-ons from another manufacturer. Has pocket for Hydration which can also be used for a Laptop. I was hoping for 2 separate pockets for water and laptop - but for the price - I'll live with it. Several other pockets internally. One can be used for quickly needed or valuable stuff - but its too small to handle a large wallet and much else. Good zippers. Has a separate water proof bag for wet clothes. Bag is not attached so it can be put in either large main gear pouches. Obligatory Whistle works - but is anemic & doesn't work if you blow too hard. Recommended.

First, this pack costs roughly $40, so keep that in mind. That said, I've hiked around 50 miles with it and I have to give it a lot of credit. It's comfortable, it's balanced, it holds everything I need it to hold and it seems to have everything all in one bag: - elastic cords down the front, which is great for keeping fleece or rain jacket handy; loops on each side for hiking poles with bungee straps to keep them secured; a very large pocket for a hydration bladder and 2 oversized webbed pockets on each side that hold larger water bottles ; zipper pockets on each side of the waist straps; it has an integrated rain cover; pads running vertically down the back that straddle your spine, and it has plenty of interior pockets for storage. I've hiked in all kinds of weather with it - sun, rain, snow, hot arid climates, hot humid climates, deserts, forests. Between Arizona, Wyoming, Montana, North Carolina, Florida...I've seen it all with this pack and it's taken all of quite well. All that said, this is NOT a high end, technical pack that I would take on a multi-day expedition. However, it you're doing an out-and-back and have to carry a lot of water and "stuff" to be prepared for whatever mother nature can and will throw at you in a day in the mountains, then I'd say this bag will do the trick and no break the bank.

I always wear the backpack when my wife and I hike. I had been using an old nylon backpack for a while now (I think my son had used it for his college days), and when I put water, and other stuff, in it, the straps would get a little cheeky on my shoulders, but I never complained! My wife, though, surprised me with this new backpack, and I am so jazzed, as it is bigger, better, has more features (like the two built-in fanny packs, the two straps--one for the chest and one lower--the inside pocket for a camelpack (sp?), and the convenient ports for ear-bud wires). I am sure I am missing something, but, nevertheless, it is the very best and coolest backpack I have ever worn! She got me the red version, and it is as cool as a red Ferrari!

A reliable option for outdoor trips, this Maelstrom Hiking Backpack 40L offers a good balance of capacity, comfort, and weather protection. The 40L size provides enough space for day hikes or short camping trips without feeling bulky or heavy on the back. The shoulder straps feel padded and adjustable, helping distribute weight more evenly during longer walks. The waterproof material, along with the included rain cover, adds extra protection for gear in changing weather conditions, which is especially useful for outdoor environments. The compartments are practical for organizing essentials like water bottles, clothes, snacks, and hiking accessories, making items easy to access when needed. It’s a solid choice for hiking, camping, or travel when durability, storage space, and weather protection are important

Seems to be great quality with all of the features mentioned.

Bag is as pictured, quality seems good ( hav not packed the bag but have tested all the zips clips etc). Good amount of features at this price point, very happy with the purchase and delivery so far.

Auf den ersten Blick (Hersteller-Foto) ein guter Rucksack. Das war’s aber auch schon. Trotz der vielen Verstau- und Verschlussmöglichkeiten knickt das Rückenteil ein, da es mit nichts verstärkt wurde. Egal, ob leer oder gefüllt; das Rückenteil berührt nicht mal den Rücken. So schlampert das Ganze um Bauch, Rücken und Schultern. Keine Kaufempfehlung.

La acabo de recibir. Ya la inspeccione toda y me encantó. Muy buena calidad, espacio y compartimentos. Yo buscaba una mochila para camping que tuviera zíper que abriera mucho para poder ver la ropa que llevo porque las que se abren por arriba como bolsas no me parecen muy prácticas a mí. Esta es lo que yo buscaba.
