This backpack is a must-have for hikers; I don't know how I lived without it before. Actually, I do know - my boyfriend had this so I made him carry all my stuff. After a while, though, I decided I should probably buy my own.
I was worried that it would be too bulky and heavy for me because I'm much smaller than my boyfriend but I was wrong. I used it for the first time on a 7 mile hike with a 1200 ft elevation change and I barely even noticed that I was carrying it. The many straps (there's one that goes around my chest and one that goes around my waist) keep the pack perfectly placed so it's comfortable and light. I was able to carry more than enough water for myself (the water reservoir is seriously huge) plus lunch for three people. I'm the only one in my family with this pack so now I'm the one carrying everyone's stuff. There are so many pockets of different sizes that you could fit pretty much anything you'd need for a day hike. My boyfriend keeps hiking essentials in his pack at all times (first aid, a jacket, etc.) and still has room for more. I was also pleasantly surprised at how cold the water stayed inside the pack; even by the end of my seven mile hike, the water was still amazingly refreshing.
I don't know if I'd recommend this pack for runners because it seems a little too big for that, but it might be fine for someone bigger and stronger than me. For hikers, however, it's a fantastic buy. It allows me to take on any hiking challenge because I know I'll be able to carry the supplies I need comfortably.
