Accurate review. My new favorite day pack. Ergonomic and very stable even when running due to dual sternum straps. During the winter here in Colorado, I can even use it for a 14er as long as I don't have to use it to haul my skis.
Good review. Can the shoulder straps be loosened enough to drop the pack lower so the waist band sits on your hipbones? I have a back injury and need to keep the weight load off my shoulders and onto my hips. I'm about 5'10.5". There are many bigger packs that are designed to move the weight baring off the shoulders and onto the hips, but I'm looking for something supper light like this pack.
I am thinking XT 10 or XT 15. What size would you pick for casual 1 day hiking- sweater/jacket, clean tshirt and socks, couple of beers/water, snacks and some small items. Also i would like to carry a 3 leg camping stool/chair- it should be fittable with the straps onto the bag?
I found it ok for running. Of course, if I am going with this size It is because I need that space for gear, if you do not have it close to full capacity the contents inside will bounce a little. For running my go to is the Adv Skin 12 from Salomon.
No for the simple reason you can see it has stitched seams rather than welded and has stitched zippers not waterproof ones. It sucks because I was really tempted with these bags as I run with my resistance bands and of course my phone and everything would be destroyed unless I protected everything with waterproof bags which then adds extra weight. Not designed for UK weather for sure.

Great video! I just bought the backpack and the video helped me a lot with figuring out the functions of the different pockets:)
Freeriding & mountaneering with it as well. Got it significantly less $100, thx, nice to hear it.

Helpful honest review!
Big fan of the salomon gear. Nice review!

off topic but which Fenix 6 model is that? Sapphire, Solar or standard?
Amazing and honest review bro
Would you say this is more ergonomic/comfortable than the trailblazer 20?
Thx for this review
Do you think it's ok for 185cm or 6.05ft ? The belly belt and the back lenght
It is definitely not going to be on your hips. More like on your waist. But that’s ok for a pack of that volume.
I am looking to purchase one of those bags, but I am not sure what's the difference between this one and the one called Nocturn XT15? the color?
Hi, the one called Nocturn is the same pack but with reflective graphisms (dots) front and back, to offer a better nightime visibility.
@@damienmoal5916 thanks a lot!
How is it for running? Does it bounce around a lot?

@@Honest-Review Thanks. I'm looking at getting the XT 10 for longer trail runs.
Can it fit a 15” laptop?
that's my question too : )
is it water proof?
