Great Pack for Dayhiking/Overnight By gorge_medic from KY on 11/25/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Easy To Load, Highly Adjustable Cons: Insufficient Padding Best Uses: Day trip, Hiking Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: My Approach does double-duty as my main pack for dayhiking, and also as my 24-hour SAR pack. I am consistently impressed by how much gear I can stuff in it. Essentials, plus a beefed-up medical kit, overnight shelter, food for two and rope rescue hardware? No sweat. The pack has a well-designed front pocket with mesh for holding those essentials that get lost easily in a big compartment(headlamp,compass, etc.)and the side pockets with pass-thru and mesh side bottom pockets work great for cramming some other stuff in there. I'm sure I overweight the suspension, but it holds up very well through cross-country travel on SAR teams, or for my normal bushwhacking activities. My only complaint is the hipbelt; it's definitely wide enough, but has too little padding for my preferences. Overall, this is a solid pack that has served my needs very well, and probably will do the same for you.

By fred from orlando on 10/27/2008 Pros: Good padding, Large capacity Best Uses: Day trip, Hiking Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I use this bag to tote our birding gear and photography gear on hikes. My only gripe about this bag is the zippers are a pain to use. Being a Mountainsmith I didn't expect this. Have used much of thier gear in the past and still using a day pack for over 15 years.
