Good minimalist pack - Black Diamond Speed Zip 33 Backpack

I was looking for a zip top closure pack capable of carrying everything I needed for a cooler day out with my 17 month old on the trail as well as a good climbing and mountaineering pack. Great minimalist pack for fall and winter, doesn't breathe the best for hot weather. Things I like: full ripstop body, a lot of adjustability, minimalist build, comfortable and the orange is nice. Things I would change to make it perfect: top compression strap is removable so it can slide around and loosen up on you, make the emergency whistle safety orange due to it being hard to see I low light situations, have a zipper instead of hook and loop for the helmet/rope carry pocket, top hook and loop ice tool straps aren't the most glove friendly, replace the hydration bladder hanging system hook and loop for a buckle or mini carabiner. Other then those minor issues it's a great pack, really comfortable and well made. I purchased the orange for winter conditions and it a nice color. I have had close to 60 packs over the last 25 years and this is one of my favorites.
