After using this pack a couple times my biggest complaint is the water bottle pockets. They can only fit a small water bottle not an actual contigo or something in that nature. The backpack is great looks great comfortable but without access to a water bottle and not using a hydration pack this pack is a little bit frustrating.

great pack but 1 con

by peppers37, from TX, United States Updated on January 26, 2020

materials are great, plenty of space....but the water bottle pockets on the sides are useless. you could fit a phone or sunglasses in them. That's about it. I own packable backpacks that were way cheaper than this that can hold a nalgene. It was a deal breaker for me.

Would recommend: No
