Pros
Excellent all day fishing pack with plenty of zip closed pockets easily accessible for gear and an expandable backpack that can hold all you need for day on the water, particularly when you are hiking into remote areas for the day. Hydration pocket is an added and essential plus for such a day. Comfortable pack. This is my fishing "vest" of choice most days as I prefer the hike in away from crowds fishing days.

Cons
fully loaded the pack could be more comfortable, a better waste support system would help take weight off your sholders.

Pros
I bought this pack 2 years ago, and it is still going strong. Has alot of pockets....... I think at one time I fit a 12 pack of b33r bottles in the back. Holds everything you ever needed on a day trip or whatnot.

Cons
On hot days, can be a little uncomfortable. Price was alil high.
