High Sierra Tech Series 59105 Lightning 35 Internal Frame Pack

Makes for a good day pack for a couple out for a day hike. Plenty of room for food, water, First-aid and camera equipment. There is no pouch for a sleeping bag if you are looking for an overnight backpack.

I took this pack on an 8 day trip to Costa Rica and it was perfect. I wanted something that would fit overhead to avoid bag fees, waiting, and lost luggage.

I'm a Rick Steves fan and follow his light packing tips. That said, I took several pairs of pants, many shirts, swimsuits, underwear, and an extra pair of shoes. I also brought back souvenirs. Everything fit! The buckles on the side allow it to tighten or expand a bit. I also packed a small expandable duffel to use as my second "personal item" carry on for bulkier souvenirs. If you were going to a cold climate (bulkier clothes) for the same length of time you might need something a bit bigger.

Our group had some folks with bags two to three times the size of this one. They were HUGE and heavy. I'm very happy I bought this pack. Only improvement I'd make would be a zipper up the side. If something is on the bottom you have to dig it out.

I REALLY love this backpack. For the day hike, this is totally perfect. For bicycling (with the included rain fly) it's perfect. I can hike through the woods with this lightweight pack or ride my bike through my home town to carry some groceries. Couldn't be happier!

It is meant exactly for what it was meant for, per the company= day hiking!

When I first bought it, I didn't realize how small that it seemed but that's my own fault.

It is not "really" meant for prolonged hikes (2 or more days) but you can probably get away with an overnight trip. The reason why I mention this is because is I have several "minimalist" items and they all fit...except the the sleeping pad and sleeping bag, which I argue are made for backpacking. It will fit a 1 person backpacking tent w/rain fly, 3 days worth of freeze-dried food, large first aid kit, mini stove and backpacking cookware, very few extra clothes...and the top portion can carry wallet, keys, emergency gear, trail mix, gloves, rain poncho, etc;

Including these items, it will not fill a sleeping bag and pad WITH the rain fly. This poses a problem if you want to actually hike for longer than 2 days. You can get compression sacks and stuff your sleeping bag in them, then attach that to the backpack, outside of the rain fly with bungie cords or something...

It will look silly but this backpack can work for more than 2 days if you do this.

Other than that, I have a 75 liter backpack for days longer than 1 day.

I totally love this backpack and all of it's features!

My husband & I purchased these bags with a backpacking trip planned to the Philippines in June. We took them out yesterday to bag a peak where we live. They were great!

My only complaint is you have to take everything out to get to the bottom (however we knew this when we bought them). Also they are not great for a short torso like mine, but once again we knew this when purchasing.

Overall we are very happy with these! I will let you know what we think after our 2 week trip coming up.
