I'm usually not one to dump a ton of cash on certain things,but after scoring a deal on some KLIM Dakar pants [and loving them] and Needing a backpack,I opted for this Nac-Pack w/ hydro pack combo, and I couldn't be happier. Excellent product!For a relatively small pack, the design lets you store all sorts of things, and then some.I needed something to carry a little bit of stuff.. maybe some things.. etc.On top of that, I also shoot photo, so, having the ability to stash a monopod/tripod alsowas a Big plus. Design is Great. Quality is Great. It shows a Lot of thought went into producing it..If it holds up for a lengthy period of time, it'll be worth the money and then some!My ONLY gripe.. I wish that the strap mounted zippered-pockets were bigger..They would have been an awesome spot to stash my phone, but, nope..A Galaxy Note 8 [or similarly sized phones] most definitely will not fit in there. Bummer.Aside from that - Nothing but Pros!
