MountainsmithDay Lumbar Waist pack, Running, Hiking, Cycling, Travel, and Outdoor Sport Activities with Dual Water Bottle Holders, Olive Green, One Size

I needed a pack to hold camera gear, water. Etc., things needed for a day hike.This seems well made with a thick material. It is comfortable on my waist but also has a good shoulder strap. It will actually hold my camera with 600m lens which surprised me. This makes it easy to get everything to the car.I have used it for a couple of short birding hikes and found I don’t notice it is there until I need something and it is easily at hand. All the various pockets make it easy to reach what you need.This is lightweight and gives me more than enough room for day hikes.

This is the perfect day pack: plenty of room in the large areas of the pack, even for a water reservoir, if you prefer that over water bottles. I like keeping the heaviest things I carry (like water) closer to the center of my body, so I put lighter things (rain cover for the pack, xtra socks, rain jacket, sandals, etc.) in the secure water bottle holders on the outside of the pack. Anyway, there's generous room in the main compartment for extra clothes, first aid kit, and a meal, plus things like binoculars, journals, etc. Plenty of secure/zippered areas for must-not-lose-on-the-trail items (car keys, wallet, etc.) The drop down outer flap is great for a mid-weight jacket, or rain jacket, that needs to be readily available depending on the effort/heat I'm putting into the hike. The belt: come on! this is the best day pack belt on the market. Wide and lots of smooth hip padding and two additional external compartments for smaller items (though the zippered pocket does hold my iPhone 15, so it's not small!) on the belt at the front of the body. And the very best part: I have to wear NOTHING on my mid and upper back, where I generate a big percentage of heat while hiking. Also, my upper body can move without being encumbered by a pack--sometimes required on rock hops and in forests. When I travel by air to places I'll be hiking, the pack is my under-seat bag. My other good-hip-belted day packs with the same capacity could not fit under the seat. Very high quality craftsmanship mean my first one only finally wore out after 25 years of hundreds of miles of travel/hiking. (It's still in good enough shape to be my dog's travel bag.) I almost forgot: the bottom straps can hold a bottle of wine, a tarp, a pad for sitting, additional light shoes, towel, bathing suit, or many of the trail-specific things you like to take depending on your destination (baguette, anyone?)

excelente calidad y tamaño perfecto

I've owned three of these now over the decades.The beaver tail sold me on getting the new one. The earlier shock cord style was not as effective IMHO. There is also a concealed zipper pocket on the reverse side of the tail.The current shoulder strap system is different from earlier versions but still strapette compatible. This one is somewhat more complex but gives more stress control and stability. And minimizes dangling excess strap. Adjustment is a little fussy as it tends to coincide with where I want the pad to be a lot. It has slipped a bit longer a few times too. Might need an additional triglide to hold tight.Waist belt is good, easier to adjust than older models. But you've got more total strap involved which is more total weight. Love the zipper pocket. But it's a bit more bulky tucked away than prior versions.Compression isn't quite as good as older models, by the beaver tail offers a bit of compression too. And see below about changes to the front pocket.The front pocket access is a bit more work to access because of the beaver tail. It doesn't have bellows expansion of older designs so it robs space from the main area more now. But more of the quick access items can move to the waist belt pockets instead.The tablet divider is stiffer and more structured than the earlier version I have. The loop label inside is actually useful for clipping pens, small flashlight or knife.Material seems as good as ever, and the upgrades are in keeping with my current use practices. Stitching was good by modern standards, but not as clean as older versions.
