Kelty Redwing 44 Backpack
Colors: Black, Twilight Blue, Ponderosa Pine.
Today of the Kelty Red Wing 44. This is a 44 litre backpack with hip straps. And a bunch of external pockets it's a relatively new release based on the. Most recent version of the Kelty Red Wing 50 which is a long-standing popular backpack on the market there's also a much smaller Red Wing 32 which is the 32 litre. And Kelty's got a whole range of products there's a. Few reviews of this backpack on YouTube but. Iwanted to give some personal perspectives. And also some up close you'll notice I'm actually quite zoomed in. You can't actually see the whole backpack. And that's on purpose. Because I'm actually well it's probably because of how my camera setup is here in my studio. And it's also because I'm going to be really focusing on a lot of the details. You can look at Kelty's own product video. Or other YouTube videos for what it looks like on somebody's back walking down the street but.
Iwant to focus on a. Few details and hopefully. This will be a pretty quick. And dirty review I purchased. This backpack just under a month ago so. Idon't have a huge amount of experience with. Ipurchased it initially. And used it right away for a week trip to Hawaii with my family. Iwanted something. That could basically be a carry-on suitcase bag. It does fit carry-on parameters. One pretty full as well as. Igot there a day hike bag. That wasn't too oversized. Or under sized as well as a diaper bag. Or just handling baby stuff which I've got going on in my life were. You know I may not need to pack a bunch of stuff for a six-hour day hike but. We might be just going to the beach. And there's big beach blankets. And so forth that take up a lot of space.
That would be too bulky for a regular day pack. Something is more of a backpack style think so. That was my reason for purchasing it. This video could be useful to. Anyone who wants to use. It for hiking or travel again. Because it's a sort of nice backpack but carry-on size for pretty much. Any airline I think would let. You on the plane with. You the basic overview again I'm going to start with I'm gonna focus pretty much on details I'm not gonna do. Everything that every other reviewers done but just. Some standout things. Ithink are relevant to a purchasing decision on. This pack because it's been very well reviewed sort of as a legacy of. All the great reviews of the Redoing 50 which. Idon't own, so I'm just coming to. It could my review is kind of next. You my feedback by the way.
This is orange tape here. And here as well as. This nite ize red plastic SP nor our add-ons. Everything else here is stopped so let. Me start with the straps. Most people most reviewers finished with the straps but let. Me start with the straps in general good lumbar support big padded hip strap with a good sized waist belt that's easy to adjust little manali type attachments on the waist on the padded portion of the waist strap so shoulder straps are nicely padded with load lifters which actually did work in my experience with. What little Hawaii load. Ihad for my trip chest strap is included pretty normal with the adjustments up. And down on the chest zipping right along pat pockets there are sorts of the visually defining feature. This pack is that there's. These vertical pockets on the left. And right both sides nice and spacious there's a pass-through pocket. That goes all the way through which. Ididn't really have much use for and put.
Some water bottle pocket the standard mesh pretty deep here from small to large there's a. What I guess people call an admin pocket with. All the various slots for pens. And notebooks in your iPhone here no little mini zip pocket but pretty packed admin pocket with a little key loop in the lid actually let. Me in the main compartment has. This top loader feature. You keep the compression straps. That sort of stops the top load. And just lets you stuff from above. You quickly undo quickly is the key feature here. You quickly undo it unzips pretty completely I'd say 80% of the way down to be a panel loader finally last but not least there's a little tiny pocket in the lid for sunglasses. Or your wallet keys. Or whatnot that's what I use.
It for and that's pretty much. It for basic specs and that's. What you'll see in other reviews let. Me point out a few specific features. That may or may not also be in other reviews there's a pretty heavy-duty handle here on the front for lifting this. More like a suitcase horizontally. Than typical backpack loop on top. Although as you saw with the orange tape there is a small issue loop on top as well so that's an interesting add-on. Idid use it's an iceberg I'll leave. Imentioned this briefly earlier but. Ididn't use this trip. Iappreciate it there being little sort of straps here for potentially adding pouches. Or just putting a flashlight with a little pocket clip. Something for hiking outdoors use also on the bottom of the pack. Each other and ears have mentioned there is also webbing two rows of webbing for a bedroll with lashing straps.
You really wanted to expand. This to make this up two. Or three day backpacking bags so those are nice the last little detail thing I'll mention. Idid find useful is on the backpack strap there's. This little elastic tensioner. Where no matter what your level of tightening of the main tie there's always a little tension because of. This elastic that actually very useful for keeping this functional as a chest strap as. Iwas walking along with a full load as well as the hip strap as well. One thing I will go over. Ithink is particularly relevant to folks shopping for this bag is water bottles for the side pockets. These side pockets scream out to be used with sort of your classic water bottle.
You can always put the things in the mesh pockets but a lot of people complain oh. If I'm packing along. II don't know this could fall out along the trail. Iwouldn't know till. Igot to my camp I had fallen out so people liked the idea of having the bottle storage on the side. It just seems common sense. You look at the design of the bag. However in their infinite wisdom healthy knowing. That there's pretty much. One universal size of Nalgene bottle made. It a little small sea. It is a little snug. It does fit that last little bend. And the zipper was a little tight. Iwill tell this backpack is empty. You have a full pack. Everything has bulged out. This is extremely hard to close. And actually risks damaging the zipper so. Iwanted to just mention a. Few things first they as well. Ihave a clean canteen here. That really doesn't fit. It sticks all the way out the top so. What I discovered well first of. All there's these little 16-ounce. No jeans and outfit no problem those are great.
You don't need a huge water supply but a solution. That worked you keep the 30 ounce sorry 32 ounce full liter capacity of the. Now gene of this guy but fitting in here with a little less hassle. Now gene makes these old school canteens shaped flat water bottles. And I'll tell you again. These fit easier as I'm demonstrating it. Because the pole pack isn't bulging at the seams but. This fits with a lot of room. And despair not a lot but. More room to spare less stress on the zipper. When you're loading up so. This isn't it's still sort of knock against the backpack. That the standard bottle doesn't fit easily.
This is just Universal among. Everybody but I know but there is a workaround. You still want a full liter water same capacity to fit in. These side pockets these pockets are also good for putting a little over shirt. You want to walk with layers. And not open your main pack over. And over again throughout the hike. Someone who's walking with. You unzip and take. It out for you or a hat without having to take off the pack. And break all down anyway water bottle holders for the side given. Ifound a workable 1 litre bottle. These pockets you got is. One of these one of these. You may be in trouble. You may have to use the mesh.
And the risk of falling out so. This pack is just straight from Hawaii. Ididn't wash anything my first general observation from the experience. You can see this with your own eyes here. Although the black is a little hard to see in the video is. It stays pretty clean the fabric is pretty good at standard distances a. Few marks but it down on the bottom not too bad unknown long-term durability again I've had. This just over one month. And really just took. One real trip to Hawaii not. That country hiking or. Anything but it worked good prose the main capacity main pocket capacity is very good it's shaped in a way. It bubbles out all the maximum cubic inches inside. You can use the water bladder holder. You want to I didn't use. That but it's its well-designed. And a compress straps at least the way they're designed to pull out.
And back to the four corners are good at holding the contents of the main pocket in as intended. Another Pro is that the fit. And weight distribution with the small amount of framing here with the aluminum rod. And the pack design. And the straps and the load lifters. All the strapping for me anyway was great for fit. And weight distribution. Ihad a pretty late load of mostly clothing I wasn't carrying and that'll cook kit for a backpack trip. Anything but I think for loads of. You know thirty pounds. Even forty pounds it's its a comfortable pack. Another pro the final. That I'll list is the looks. Or subjective in all consumer products but. Ilike minimal badging and labeling and reflective strips. And contrasting zipper pulls. And stuff this amount of badging just so. Icould see it on earth from a distance. And know it was my bag but really. Ilike the minimum minimalist look. You can decide in and other videos. You like the look there are. Some other colors but.
This sort of two-tone fabric. One is sort of smooth nylon. One is a little bit of a texture to. It is nice gives it a little bit of distinctive look but is minimalist which. Ilike let me talk about the things. And I'm rushing through here but let. Iwant to keep this quick let. Me talk about the things. Ididn't like about. This bag first and foremost the buckles. All the buckles seemed incredibly cheap in terms of the quality of the plastic. And the design these are guaranteed to break so the material of the buckles. Ireally don't like. And also the size these are the compression straps. It hard to even thread the tab into the slide. Many times it was just so small. Ifelt like I was threading a needle the chest strap which.
Iused every time it on it's a little bigger. Then the compression straps but. Ifound myself you know trying 10 10 times sometimes to get. It aligned and then. Ifelt like again it was so cheap. Ithought and didn't. And pushed I could very easily snap off. One of these guys the waist strap which is substantially bigger still feels for what it is super cheap. You just the hardware is like the material the fabric it's the fundamental of the bag it's got to work. Idid not have nothing broke on. This trip but is the first trip. Idid not have confidence in the quality of the buckles especially the compression straps which are tiny. And the chest rack which is still pretty small the other thing I did not like on the subject of small. And weak is the zippers. And the zipper poles are about as small as. You can get on a full-size pack again.
They work they didn't break this trip but. They did not inspire confidence a pull cord seems like a big cut corners. You know it's not so much an issue for. That in the pocket but. You fill out this big 44 litre main compartments let. You're really yanking on these zippers. You come around the corner in. This sort of s-curve to get the lid shut. It did not inspire confidence. It again made me feel like. This is gonna break sooner. Then later it's fine in Hawaii but. Iwouldn't want this to break. Either the zippers of the clasps in a back country hiking situation the last sort of con. That I'll talk about they're really left out at. Iwas using this bag for my first trip is. That the pocket capacity in the pocket design didn't seem great.
Icommented that the main compartment is great. Istand by it opens almost completely. It the sort of bubble shape of the pack. That sort of rounds. All serves to give the maximum capacity to the main compartment. This guy I feel like. Iput a shirt anything I mean there is like half an inch at the top of depth in. This bag and really not. That much at the bottom. Either there may be two inches. Ireally couldn't get. That much in here I couldn't access. Anything on the admin panels the other thing I'll say is. Itry to flip this open as. You would do in an admin panel situation trying to give it. Something this thing shut every time. Icould like jam and open but eventually. It going going it would just shut on. It was like someone was putting a prank on. Something every time. Itry to open this thing and again. Iwanted to fall back. It what's in here it was doubly hard. This goes for the top lid compartment to the pockets not.
That small but the opening is inexplicably small. They could have just made the zipper curved around just a little. You could get in there but again the pocket is maybe an inch deep at the front. And tapers to nothing at the back so you're just really excite. When your wallet or sunglasses not getting a lot of. Anything in there it seems like it's just a little. More thought of the design. These various issues. These various issues could have been addressed. One small break that won't really say it's a complaint but small bright. Idon't know if it'll come during the video is on the back you've got. All the padding for your back you've got the padding on the chest strap.
You got the padding on the waist belt the padding this won't come through in the video but the padding that's on the back surface is a nice sort of closed cell foam feeling like. You would expect in. This kind of padding however in the belt the waist strap. And the shoulder strap listen your. That crunchy it's like. They crumpled up a bunch of saran wrap. Something I mean there is foam in there but it's like it's somehow it's not just. This kind of traditional nice soft plush. Yet firm padding they just use. Something different in Enix Lucas inexplicably thinner. And a little noisier. Idon't know it didn't it's not a deal-breaker for me but. Ithought I'd point. Ihaven't seen it in other videos. Idon't know why there're two kinds of foam. If there's just some other shape holding material in their anyway not a pro definitely at least a grape so. Some pros and cons. And a grape again sorry. Iput the clothes up here by the way the s beaner from night eyes. This is the number for size fits perfectly in the two lower loops here.
You want to have something to easily attach a couple doodads to just a little backpack hack. Icame up with after purchasing the bag okay bottom line Kelty Red Wing 44 it's a good basic design. Isee why people like. Ilike the idea of outer pockets. And the mesh pocket. And multiple pockets in the main body of the bag the carry system is relatively sophisticated for a moderately priced bag. All the adjustments in the strap. And load carrying system are pretty good I'll give Kelty credit for. Ihave to say the zippers the material the clasps my gosh the clips are just. Idon't want to say unacceptable but just inexplicably low quality. And not confidence-inspiring for a bag of. This cost I got a deal on Amazon. Iwas sort of watching prices go up. And down as they do on. Any Amazon from about a hundred.
And twenty-two ninety-nine to. Whatever this bag on a day. It was actually about $80. Few cents and that's pretty reasonable. And I'll have to say for $80. This is a fairly priced bag. It does have quite a bit of capacity. It does have the weight bearing carry system for if. You are gonna go backpacking with. This for 80 bucks it's a reasonable value. Ican recommend I don't have a comparison with. Another bag of similar costs but. Ithink for 80 bucks its fair for a hundred. And twenty whatever else it's been going for even a hundred. Even ninety I don't know. Ijust think the materials are too weak to take. And carry out on a plane to go on vacation with your family in Hawaii maybe it's not a big deal cuz. If a clip breaks oh well. You just go down the road to get a repair. You went back home on the airline with a broken buckle but.
One of the very essential zippers. Or clasp break in a backpacking situation for which. This bag was designed that's no good. You can't do your compression straps. Or get your chest strap on. When you're carrying your load to pack out of the mountains. If a zipper breaks you can't. Even keep a flap closed. Ijust think that's unacceptable. Iwould not recommend. This really at any price certainly not over $100 to. Someone just going to use. This for backpacking use. It in the city use it for air travel use. It with my little water bottle hack for not breaking the zip. Or getting your bottle in. And out of the side pocket. You know as this sort of backpack diaper bag for a vacation. That worked for me I don't think I'm going to use.
This for its secondary intended use of hiking and backpacking and camping which. Ihope to use it for but it's just not up to snuff that's. This review has been helpful again sorry I'm sort of zoomed in here. This is kind of how my setup was but. Iput the black bag. Everything I wanted to be able to gather enough detail to show. What I was talking about with. All the various pros. And cons I've talked about what's important to. And relevant based on my use of the bag for a month tell. What you think in the comments. You disagree or agree. You have a different Kelty bag of different attributes. Or weaknesses another brand. You think I should try. Idon't want this for backpacking would love to hear comments.
And get the dialogue going if. You liked the video. You like my other videos like comment. Or subscribe love feedback. And we'll see if the next video.

Osprey® Daylite Plus Hiking Backpack
Hey guys how much today with a gear favourite backpack. This for all kinds of trips it's an osprey daylight it's a 15 liter bag that's. What I remember I purchased itI've used. This thing on several international trips. Several domestic trips through flights it's perfect as a carry-on personal item that's. What I use it for get a small enough. It fits underneath the seat in front of. That counted as best. You can still bring a big carry-on bag. That is a double or rolling suitcase. Something like that so super right back for. That it's also great for hiking or just for anything you want to go walking around going on a trip I'm used for all sorts of things I've been happy to have. It in pretty much every situation it's small enough. You don't feel like you're carrying around a big bag a lot of stuff but it's big enough. You can fit in pretty much. Everything you might need so for example. Icould fit a day's worth of clothes like just. One chain to close a jacket like a body charger just different accessories for the day.
Ican have and maybe like a packed lunch. Or snacks all that's no problem to fit in here. And carry around in your back it's got. One big compartment right here. That's the bulk of what you're carrying and. It actually fits a surprisingly large amount of items in there that's that's. Iput the bulk of stuff with. Any of those small things right up here. This little pouch has two little mesh pockets so that's why I usually put like up a charger pack. And then like headphones. Or phone charger for like just the accessories I'm taking those pouches. And then also I can put like an energy bar. Or my sunglasses in the pouch itself that's easy access on top not to go digging around for it that's.
Ilike to put it the bag is super durable I've used. It heavily on the trip. We went on last summer. Iliterally used this bag every day for at least two months with heavy use wearing it. All day long constantly taking stuff in. And out of it so the zippers have gotten a lot of use they're still going justify the material itself super sturdy mesh here super sturdy like zero complaints as far as durability goes. And it's also a super comfortable bag so the straps are great for them especially burgers you're outside doing kind of exerting activities. This keeps cool it breathes very well so does. This back porcelains up against your back it's got a pad in there. And the match ups that breathe very well as well.
If you're using this for hiking it has a spot right here. You can put like that like Camel back water bag there's kind of hydration accessory there. Idon't have one of those. More of a hiking for Mike. And best didn't want to get. One so it's really cool to have. That option it's also for the straps it's got to go across your chest right here which you're great. You know what every time. It on the ones I don't use as much but. It still has is hip straps so it's carrying a lot of weight for some reason your buckle goes around your hips. And just helps trigger the weight. If say you're like cycling you know using riding a bike that'll help keep. It from so much in the back the only complaint. Ihave of it the couch is for putting your water bottle they're not exactly shaped well in my opinion at the back of the bottle for example I've got. That sticks out at an angle.
And so you're moving around much it's really easy for to slip out especially the bags packed. This area right here kind of bulges out. And there's not really a lot of room for bottleneck but. That with carabiner. Ijust clip it on to. This strap right here that's hang. It there is on. Both sides that isn't really. That strap intended for but. Iwant to use it last summer two months drink full bottle of water every single day on. That strap it's not. One out so it can obviously handle. It so that's what I use. That for and it's just an amazing bag. Ihighly recommend one in fact actually. It was convincing my brother just the other day. How great a fabulous. He just went to work. He just couldn't take anymore put on a trip. That he's coming with. Ijust convinced him. He had to have these bags in fact. It for a deal — they're usually around $50 regular price so. If you're already out on the Amazon but just the other day.
What actually was talking him about. They were going for like $35 on Amazon set. That is just one heck of a deal. And then you want to buy a second. One just to have you know. Even need because that's such a good deal so. If you're interested in. One I'd say go check. You can see you can find it for $35. Ijust buy it Reds in their okay can't say enough good things about. This bag and it's Osprey so. You know it's good quality. And a really great guarantee on other bags. Ilove their stuff anyway thanks for watching this review guys great bag. You need one great for carry-on the personal items. They for anything you want for you'll do the job. All right you like. This video push that like button. You want to see more content like.

Or for someone that is thru-hiking where your load might be really big at. One point you need a lot of room but. This has a lot of compression straps in different place so as your load gets smaller. You are calling a smaller load.
You can really cinch down the pack. And your gear stays secure Moving to. This J shaped zipper. This gives you really nice access into the body of the pack So. It is a little bit bigger of a pack. Ijust set you can see. How wide that opens. Ican access stuff that is here on the bottom. Ihave just got a little stove in there. And access stuff all the way up to the top A really convenient feature. You don’t have to take a lot of things out of your pack in order to get hands on what you want. This bottom compartment here is your typical sleeping bag compartment That opens up really wide You can see. Ihave a sleeping bag in there So there is a divider between the bottom sleeping bag compartment. And the main body of the pack But. You want you can take. That divider out and just have.
One big pocket Stretchy mesh pocket on the front. Ilike to keep an extra layer. Or a map something I want to get my hands on quickly. Something that is lightweight On the side. You have got really long. What I normally call water bottle pockets Right here. Ihave just tent poles in their So. You can see the depths of. That pocket You have got two entry points into. This pocket one from the top. One from the side So. Ihave got my water bottle in the other side And. This has just an angled entry So. It is really easy to just grab your water. You need it You don’t have to take your pack off. And reach into this deep pocket The other cool thing about. This pocket is there is compression straps There is. You can put them underneath of.
This stretchy pocket Or as. You can see on this side. Ihave the compression strap on the outside So again really versatile pack You can compress. And adjust the volume One of the things. Most about this pack is the versatility. And the different ways. It can be used So going through the little features. That make a big difference in the top. You have got some webbing attachments Working my way down here on the front there are two compression straps So. One thing they can do is just compress the volume of the pack down But. You can use these to attach a snow board Or skis. Or snow shoes or any-thing to the front of. This pack so nice feature there And on. This pack in my opinion. These are two curious little buckles but. You really have a small load. You need to com-press the pack down. These buckles right her are meant to reach over buckle there.
One down there So what these two are used for Working my way down the pack. More there is two nice really sturdy tool loops on the bottom So just to give. You an idea of how big those loops are. You have got attachment points up here So. Any mountaineering tools ice axes things like. You can attach them really easily there And then. Iam working my way down to the bottom There are two nice adjustable webbing loops All in. One of the most versatile packs It has got extremely great customization You can dial in the fit. You know the fit of. This pack it is going to last. You for a really long time. And just continue to offer support.

And there are attachments on the belt to use with a mountaineering sled let's take a.
More in-depth look at the Gregory — Natalie 75 the pack is constructed with two 10 D. And 420 D nylon ripstop fabrics so. It is still a lightweight fabric but. It is very durable and abrasion resistant the bottom. However is reinforced with a six thirty high density nylon so. You get really heavy reinforcement on the bottom of the pack so. It down pick it up set. It down again and again it's really going to help. That to hold up over time. This pack has a really nice beefy suspension system. And that's how it's going to maintain comfort with a heavy load it's using Gregory's Fusion flex Pro suspension system. It is a very fully featured suspension system we've got two aluminum vertical stays from the top. That bring the load. All the way down into the hips there is a horizontal anti barrel stay in there so. That to stabilize the load.
And there is an integrated frame sheet so that's also going to help to stabilize. That weight the back panel here is a molded EBA back panel. It is very thick very well padded. You can see that there's no real mesh here. Anything like that's designed for those snowy adventures so snow has nowhere to build up. Or kind of get caked into you've got a really smooth panel it'll help to shed. That snow that ice the harness is an auto-adjust harness so. Each shoulder strap will adjust individually so it'll automatically adjust to the user it'll work with the user. And it'll move with the user so it'll provide a really good amount of comfort throughout a long hard hike the hip belt is an auto can't hip belt as well so. It is individually flexible it'll move with the user again it'll still transfer. That load to the hips comfortably but it'll allow for a lot of movement a lot of mobility.
And flex with that hip belt. It is pre curved it is a unisex pack so. It is designed to fit a wide range of different users. Some neat features about. That suspension system those two aluminum stays can actually be completely removed so. You have a lighter load. You don't need that extra support. You can take those stays out. You can leave them at home there's also a removable bivy pad inside the back panel of. This pack so in the main pack body there's a sleeve. That bivy pad rests there. It acts as an extra padding for the back panel here but. You can simply take. That out you don't need. That bivy pad as a knee pad. Or just to sit on when you're in the mountains so. Some extra convenience in. That aspect there are a number of features right on the hip belt with. This pack that make.
It really great for those mountaineering expeditions you've got a small hip belt pocket that's great for some emergency items. You need it but on the right side here we've got a gear loop that's a great place to clip. Some extra carbines. Some ice tools you need. Some emergency cord. And there's also a slot in. That hip belt for an ice tool holder so a little ice clip carabiner. You can slide that right in there have your ice screws ready at the ready for when. You need them there's as well. Some loops at the backside of the hip belt. That are going to allow. You to attach a mountaineering sled so for those really big expeditions. You can easily attach a sled to.
This pack comfortably so. It rests right around the hips so. It doesn't add any unnecessary pressure I'm going to turn the pack back around. And take a look at how. We access all the contents so. This is a top loading pack the main access point for the pack is through the top. You have a really spacious lid on the pack. You do have some additional storage on. That lid but you don't need the lid. You can take and leave. It at home it's really easy to do. That you've got two buckles on the front you've got two buckles on the back. You do have an additional strap on the back as well. That will let you simply take the hood off. And leave it at home. You need to there are two pockets in. That lid you want to use them but otherwise. You don't need you don't want. It the pack is accessed through a large top collar you've actually got two collars on the pack so you've got the main color here. And then you've got an extendable spin drift collar above. That so it'll actually allow.
You to over stuff the pack. You need to get that full capacity so it's really convenient. It adds a lot of extra space. And a lot of extra organization. You choose to use it there's also a side entry point on the pack so on. One of the sides of the pack. You have a large vertical zipper. That will allow you to get into the side of the pack quickly. And easily to access. Some of those middle contents. You need them there's no bottom access on. This pack so there's no sleeping bag compartment on the pack. That allows for a lot of extra durability. It keeps a lot more streamlined down low so keep. That in mind with the Denali 75. Some other features. That make this pack ski. Or mountaineering specific the front panel here is heavily reinforced so. You can lash some snowshoes to the front.
Some crampons that material is very abrasion resistant. It can certainly hold up to those items. We have a slot down low for some ice axes. You choose to use those there. And you've got gear loops as well. And velcro Luc's to tie those off right at the top of the pack we've got upper. And lower compression. And those compression straps can extend around the front of the pack to act as ski. Or snowboard lash straps so it's really easy to bring those straps around the front of the pack to lash down. Some of those items. We also have dual bottle holders. Or gear pockets on either side so at the bottom right under. That bottom compression strap there's an extended pocket. You can store water bottle there. You choose to some additional gear those pockets are fairly large. And on the side instead of having another access point we've got a small pocket that's a great place for small maps. Some emergency items things. You just want have quick access to on the outside of the pack finally for some additional gear lashing you have a lot of options on the front you've got a ton of loops here to lash.
Some additional gear. You need to you've got a couple loops down at the bottom of the pack to attach. Some extra gear and on the shoulder straps as well there are. Some extra daisy chains so. You can certainly lash. More gear there you choose to. It is a hydration compatible pack there is a hydration sleeve inside but a reservoir is not included so. You would have to purchase. That separately there's a sleeve on the inside. You can hang and there is a port on the back here. That tube can come out keep in mind. If you're using it for serious alpine use.

Lo g bolt here trying to do a quick internet searching for videos. That a lot of other people go looking for the unusual are the things. That aren't being done. Ithought I'd follow up with. One here quick video what's coming in as far as my stock got nice little package here from the Dutch from Dutch. Where calm and his Blue Goose latest products the first. One of course is the sip pad there. It is right there here's my order processed always got the thanks. And peace Dutch in the corner nice little touch personal touch greatly appreciated. And here are the his new sit pad kind of cool small lightweight. Nothing to and the hammock thinking of using it also as a foot pad for my feet. And heels it's not as long as. Iwas thinking I was thinking more backpack long but still it's good size. Imean there's nothing wrong with. And definitely your butt can sit on. And it's easy to put away. It does have it does have a photograph. You look right here um there's a wide bar here. That goes out and here's. That goes in so there is a way to fold. It to get it to fold down the easiest phone again. Iwould make I don't know exactly. Where a stick is but it's a quick end out of the pad so. You can go almost anywhere on top anywhere for quick access so. When you're on the trail. Even goes in the pocket there may be a good place board behind the water bottle so it's quick. And easy to pull out open up.
And set your ear down on so yeah I'm happy with. Idon't think I think a bigger size would get in the way. You want quick and easy. When you're on the trail otherwise. You end up not using it which is. What happens to me too great. Many times that was just part of the Dutch order the other part was. This right here on the lightest weight pack cover on the market let's go back to the amazing thing isI'll be able to put my head in. That in with it the amazing thing about. This was I left a note. Because at the time. He had been running out of these. And didn't have and then. They got back online. He put him back online. Iwent there he didn't have the camo so. Iordered the black but then. Imade a little note. That said look have. You got amylin camel in stock I'll take the camo print over the black. And sure enough Dutch came through with the camo there's the lightest backpack there is there's the bottom little snack there's a top part to.
It right here, so he's owned a little loop in there to. Where the loop comes out so. You can see it on top. You can see it on bottom that's important to. What I'd like to do is I'd almost like to I'd almost like to be able to somehow mitten hook. Or I'm not exactly sure. Yet but somehow maybe hang. This on to the hammock. Some way to drop clothes in. It up to the line so. Iget multiple uses that's not a bad idea. Icould quick clip that to up to a Sideline matter of fact Dutch may get. Another order because he's got those quilt books. And I'm thinking that those hooks would work on a Sideline just hold. And throw stuff in. It so it's above my head. Although I got war bonnet Blackbird. You the one side pocket is wonderful. Everything I need there soI'm not sure butI'm always looking for ways to do things different.
And to change things upI'm going to go ahead. Iwonder which way is which. Iwould imagine I would just imagine. That then this goes on bottom are on top I'm going to have to look to find out which goes. Where but it's must be a perfect fit on the ohm. And of course I don't have. Idon't have a patch but here is the hall pull. That pull this top strap through so. You could hang it up not look to. This especially without the pack not IM in there but it's going to be a nice fit looking cool. Ilove the camel color. And again for those individuals debating the weight of. This this is under 2 ounces.
Ithink it's one point nine ounces it's a life's. One on the market I looked at. You la's I looked at other vendors. Ilooked at a storage pouch. Ilooked at impacts which has a human fiber. And z packs is a lighter but. That cuban fiber on a pack. It gets torn and you're taping it. One was the cheapest on the market for the lightest weight. Imade the right choice. Imade the right call comes in to the number of colors easy on Easy Off I'm pleased. And frightening quite interesting again. Idon't think you can buy. Anything a Dutch and go wrong you're going to find some use. If not you're going to be able to pass on. Somebody else and make them happy so. Ithink it's a heck of a heck of a deal there thank.
