[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this backpack while photographing an IRONMAN event. It carried my Sony 16–35mm, 28–70mm, 50–150mm, and 300mm f/2.8 lenses, plus my DJI Mavic 3 and controller. It fits a lot of gear and stayed very comfortable throughout the day, even with all that weight. It was perfect for this assignment!
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this as I needed a day/hiking bag that wasn't as heavy and had better straps than my 30L EDB. This fit the bill perfectly, as its also able to fit my 16" mbp, its tight but it works! Its decently light, and the straps are amazingly comfortable - probably worth the purchase for this reason alone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The white color looks nice on photo. It would have been great if not for its translucent property. I can see what’s inside the backpack from outside which really bothers me. Also the material is some kind of thick vinyl, it’s not soft and malleable, rather more crumbly and makes noise. Has good number of pockets and big front opening that I like. Also like the metal back structure.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You know, I didn't quite understand just how well designed this is - but once I did, I had to tip my hat to the designers. The bag is phenomenally customizable, and the straps are the most comforable I've experienced in an outdoor rucskack. The rail attachment system is very clever, and the dual comparment system just works

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve used my outdoor 25l on anything from 2 mile hikes to 18 mile hikes. I’m planning on using the pack on my upcoming 2 week trip to Croatia. I love the design, the material, the look and the fit so much that I’m planning on buying one for my wife as well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good for trips/travel, Not for Everyday
on September 17, 2026

I bought this bag several months ago and I've used it on a couple trips and a couple times around town. Will this replace my Everyday Backpack? No. The design and how you use the Outdoor Backpack is too cumbersome for everyday use. The strings are not the most intuitive to use. When I first got the backpack, I thought I was going to break something, b/c I had to pull so hard to open up the top.
But over time and using it a few times, the backpack grew on me. It's definitely particular in its use case. I do like that it's lighter and less rigid than the Everyday backpack.
Ultimately, I'm keeping both the Outdoor and Everyday backpack, for different occasions
