Just took this through 4 days of riding in Breck and Vail. Worked perfect, very sturdy on my back but small where it didn’t effect my riding. added a 2L water sack and fed the water tube through a perfectly placed hole and strapped it down through one of the straps flawlessly. Also used this as my carryon which fit a laptop and an iPad. Lastly, used this to hike up one of the peaks with my board strapped in horizontally and it helped so much while climbing and taking breaks being able to not worry about letting go of my board.
