The backpack was a gift for my husband. He absolutely loved it. It seems comfortable to wear, has several compartments along with the place to put this fishing pole and a rain fly to protect it. Perfect for hiking in to fish.
This is a functional pack, good fit and comfortable. Use of the pack makes the walk to the fishing holes very easy and makes the day enjoyable when having the extra amenities otherwise left behind. The pack could be a little bigger. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase, and I'm looking forward to using it for many years to come.
I bought this item for a high mountain fishing trip in Buena Vista Colorado. The first day, hiking to Lake Pomeroy, one of the snap clips pulled out and the 2nd day the grab handle ( top-center) pulled out. At 13,000 feet you don't want that to happen. Suffice to say that I was very dissapointed. I returned it for a full refund but I wish there ws a better alternative.
I love the idea of this pack. However it needs to be slightly bigger. My size 13 wading boots and breathable waders can just barely fit in the waterproof compartment. And when they are in there, I've got enough room in the rest of the pack for lunch, but not much else.
The pack stays have too much curve to them. This also decreases the available space in the pack.
I'm 6' 1" and the pack length is not adjustable, so the hip pad rides high on me.
