MaelstromHiking Backpack,Camping Backpack,40L Waterproof Hiking Daypack with Rain Cover,Lightweight Travel Backpack,Red

It took a while before I received this product as I was traveling and backpacking all over Italy and Europe. It was returned to the seller 2x due tonight being undeliverable. I finally asked the vrbo manager to have it sent to his name so I would actually recieve it on our next stop. This backpack is worth the wait! The pockets and ergonomic design kept my back from feeling achy after a long journey. The zippers were sturdy and I can actually put a lock on it as it is 2 zippers not one. Please see video of the product. The weight of the backpack was not on your shoulders it is on your waist that does not really weigh anything. My husband was surprised that I can carry so much weight on my back! Thanks to this sturdy, very comfortable, ergonomic design of this backpack. PS. I have an inflamed disc on my back and this was the most comfortable backpack I have ever owned.

Overall loving this day pack! I haven't fully packed it up for any overnights or long day hikes, but plenty of space, multiple pockets, and lots of options for exterior storage as well. Only downside is the waist belt is a tad too large, even cinched down fully it just barely sits on my hips without sliding over (my hips where it sits are approximately 33"). But even with that I'm not willing to lower my rating, as everything else seems great. Water bladder fits easily into the pocket and a flap on the side leads to an elastic band on the shoulder strap to keep it in place and accessible. I've only packed it up with the essentials for small hikes, but there's plenty of room left over I would be confident using this for a short overnighter. Have not been able to test its durability as I've only used it for 3 hikes, but so far seems to be doing great.

I bought this bag on a lightning deal for under $45 and took it with me on a multi-day backpacking trip in the NC mountains. I think for the price it was a hell of a last minute deal to pick up this bag. It was mostly comfortable, had plenty of storage, and the included rain fly was an absolute must have. For my first serious backpacking trip this bag held up well. It went through hell with heavy rainfall, river crossings, MANY thorny plants snagging at it, getting dragged against fallen trees, and being thrown on/off a multitude of times. I had the bag filled to the brim with about 30 lbs of gear, which I now understand was WAY overkill. But there were no rips or frayed seams once I inspected it post-hike.My main complaint that I have with this bag was the fit and comfort after 5 miles of hiking. No matter how tight I pulled the waist strap I could not get more than ~40% of the weight off my shoulders. The waist straps just didn't pull tight enough around my 32" waist. Because of that, 5 miles was pretty much the limit for shoulder fatigue and longer than that resulted in a constant need to keep re-positioning the bag. My friends that had fitted REI bags did not have this complaint as they were able to take the weight off their shoulders using the waist strap. Of course their bags were $300 and custom fitted while mine was $45.For context on what this bag held during my trip:-Food and snacks for 3 days-hammock, bug net, rain fly, 50 degree rated sleeping bag-Stanley camping pot, stove, 1 isobutane cylinder-Sawyer squeeze water filter, 2 smartwater bottles, small first-aid kit-A 12x9x4 packing cube with clothes-Various toiletries, survival gear, towel, pair of flip flops, and a rain jacketFor my next trip I will be switching out the hammock setup for an ultralight tent, only bringing one change of clothes, and going a bit lighter on the smaller survival gear items and toiletries to get the weight and bulk down.

I was doing my first ever mountain hike and didn't want to spend so much money on a one-time venture. I picked this one based off reviews. It was actually very comfortable! I packed too much (we were expecting 3 different types of weather) so the weight of my pack bothered me, but the bag itself wasn't digging into my shoulders or adding any kind of burden. The side pockets and the chest / stomach straps helped to distribute the weight.In the first 30 minutes we were in a drizzle and I pulled out the rain cover that came with the backpack. It was working great, until I decided to change clothes about 3 hours in. When I pulled off the rain cover completely I was surprised to find it was wet INSIDE. We were never in a downpour, it was never more than a basic drizzle, but the rain went right through the rain cover. Luckily my bag didn't get too wet and it just stayed a bit on the surface, but I was pretty disappointed.I'll be keeping this bag, but if I wind up using it in the future, I'm getting a different rain cover.

I wanted to wait till I could actually use this till I rate it. (I am intending to use it for family day hikes and traveling.) However, the extended warranty has to be started within 15 days of purchase, and I have to leave a rating in order to get the extended warranty. So here I am, rating a product I haven’t actually tested yet . . .It looks and feels sturdy. The straps are nicely adjustable , and I can get it pretty tight, though again, I haven’t gotten to test it withal a load. The bottle pockets are nice and big, but also adjustable to hold in my big double-walled stainless steel water bottles. The compartments and pockets seem nice. I have an insulated lunch bag that will fit nicely inside for packing lunches and snacks that need ice packs.I hope to update this review after I’ve gotten to test it.

Not only are the colors good, but it really carries weight on the hips, handles a lot of rough terrain and scratching, and provides a lot of helpful space for long hikes. The pockets on the hip belt are SO handy.

I just received the backpack and have only used it once. It was purchased because of the similarity to an Eddie Bauer hiking backpack that needed to be replaced. It seems to be exactly what I was looking for.

Padrisima justo lo que quería.

Buena calidad

Buena calidad de la mochila. Me sorprendio su buen tamaño y buena calidad de materiales por el costo. Muy recomendable

Muy recomendable, buen material y de buen diseño se ve pequeña pero tiene la capacidad para llevar muchas cosas.

Buen tamaño, material decente y si es amplia, falta ver cómo me va en una acampada
