Sierra Designs Summit Sack Pack

very light and does what its made for. I don't think it'll hold up to lots of abuse, but thats not what its for. I'm using it to carry light load when I trail camp on my mountain bike. holds hammock, bed, stove, meal, soft items and still under 10lbs without water!

***BEWARE!!!!**** mANY OF THE similar packs from REI, North Face, etc. are TOO SMALL to carry a fullsize laptop. This pack is ACTUALLY JUST LARGE ENOUGH for this purpose. Me? I use this pack mostly for biking to work. It is just broad enough to hold a larger laptop or 3ring binder, etc. ***MANY small summit packs are too skinny to hold either of these things****

It came with a whistle on the sternum strap fastex! How cool is that.Great for summoning people and generally attracting attention. I never use the whistle, not even once, but it's nifty nonetheless

The front pocket is super handy. I can easily drop the pack onto one shoulder strap and grab something out of the front pocket.

I wish it were an even brighter color so it would be more visible on the road. I understand that Sierra Designs is aiming more at the backcountry (or backcountry wannabe) user with this item, so they have a much more muted/earthtone shade of jaundice as their yellow. Ok, I forgive them for this

I don't think it will be capacious enough for summit hikes in real mountains out west. I have a bigger daypack with more padding on the straps that I will keep using for that purpose.

The ripstop nylon works great. I abraded a hole in my pack and I have been too lazy to mend it. It's not getting any bigger even after 6 months of daily use.

SYNOPSIS: if you want to telegraph that you are "AWESOME" to absolute strangers, get a trendy bike messenger bag. But if you actually need to carry things while cycling, get this item. THanks for reading, good day, be safe out there
