Reviews
Great
"I used it by the train tracks, well , the titanium water purifier, I guess my husband jumped in me to do something new in a new place. He prefers disgracement with me normally with trains for it was, however, the only thing my family respected that I bought. I was robbed though, still have backpack, do not wear with light colored clothes and so far so good. Use for survival, we were surrounded last night, then Rochelle computed the pack"

"Well made backpack. Planning on putting to the test this weekend. I like the options it has, and the water bottle carriers are spot on."

Great pack
"Great quality. I like all of the compartments. My only negative comment is that the bottle pockets on the side do no hold the geopress well. They are too narrow at the bottom to allow it to go in deep enough to be secure. It lacks a good retention system at the top of these pouches as well."

A hiking pack
"Grayl, the pack Is a great start, improve the back panel and straps and you would have a winner! Perhaps a suspended mesh back panel and improved robust shoulder straps and you’d have an amazing product"

A couple of changes and its perfect!
"I came across the pack and a lot of searching to find the options I wanted. I am retiring my Eberlestock X4 High Speed of 12 years mainly because I want something with a little more room. Pros: - Organization. This pack has tons of pockets. Having the laptop pocket on the side was one of my must haves - Build quality. Quality appears good. The bag feels well made - Customer service. They were quick to respond to a question I had. I ordered the bag on Saturday and it was at my door Tuesday afternoon. Not sure if this is because Im just 3 hours south or if their shipping is always that fast Cons: - Hip belt is not removeable. This bag will be used for airline travel and visiting industrial sites so no hip belt needed. Im very temped to cut it off. . . - Padding. I feel like the padding, although adequate, will not breath like the material used in my Eberlestock or my Kelty Falcon packs which use a very porous foam type material that seems to offer very little resistance to air. The padding on this pack seems more like your basic low density foam. The pack is comfortable, but, it is winter time so we will see how it breaths in the summer -Adjustability. I would expect more adjustability for a pack in this price range, not a one size fits all. Overall: While my complaints are minor and not a deal breaker yet, summer time will help me decide if I really like it or not. I think a 300. 00 plus pack should offer more adjustability and the other options mentioned to make this pack great. For close to 30 years I have traveled all over the world and my Eberlestock X4 High Speed has about 2,000,000 of those miles. It has plenty of life left in it, but, my needs have changed and its time to move on. My short list included the Eberlastock Switchblade, Eberlastock Fade Adjust, Mystery Ranch Blitz, Kelty Redwing tactical, Kelty Redwing Traveler and the Veria Islander Savvy. This bag met most of my requirements including what I thought at the time was the removeable hip belt. The Eberlastock and the Kelty Tactical had the best adjustments, but lacked in other areas where the Mission EXP shined. Would I recommend this pack to friends or coworkers? Sure. All in all it is a good pack. Make the changes mentioned above and this pack would have a spot at the top of the list all by itself. @Grayl - If you made those changes, Id be hard pressed not to buy the upgraded pack! This pack will be used every day for work and travel."

Rugged. Smart. Built for the Wild
"If you're looking for the ultimate adventure backpack, this delivers on every front! It has that rare balance of being minimalist yet fully functional. Whether you're trekking through remote backcountry, hopping on planes, or navigating urban chaos, this bag performs like a champ- and looks good doing it. The shoulder straps are super comfortable even when the bag is fully loaded, and the back panel breathes well-huge plus on hot days. This pack is built like a tank and feels virtually indestructible. It shrugs off rain, dirt, and abuse without blinking. I’ve used it in pouring rain, mountains, dusty trails, and overhead compartments-it hasn’t flinched once. Makes organizing gear super easy and accessible. Highly recommended for serious adventurers, minimalist travelers, and anyone tired of fragile, overcomplicated bags."
