Pros and cons
Pros
- A 7-litre capacity and listed 315-gram weight make the pack suited to carrying a compact load.
- Adjustable chest straps, elasticated compression and an internal mesh pocket are intended to limit load movement when running.
- Hydration-system compatibility is stated, and the compatible Streamer system is clearly identified as not included.
Cons
- The 7-litre capacity limits how much equipment it can carry compared with larger daypacks.
- The hydration reservoir or flask is not included, so hydration-system use requires a separate compatible item.
