This pack is very durable and well-made. Stood up to snow, rain (thanks for the added rain cover!) and sunny trail days. The pack is very comfortable and I appreciate the hip belt and back padding. However, I wish there were more pockets and that the side-access pockets were designed differently. The pockets just barely fit a standard Nalgene (its a very tight fit) and, when filled with water bottles, they definitely encroach on the interior space of the pack. If you're planning a longer adventure that requires more water, gear or layers, I would suggest getting a larger day pack. However, the 18L is just enough for shorter more casual adventures.
