I’ve had this pack for about four years, now, and it’s holding up incredibly well for how many adventures it’s been on with me! It washes well - washing machine, no special treatment, hung to dry. The fabric isn’t edged on the inside seams, so I’ve had to trim some frays, but no issue with functionality. It holds a LOT, and the pockets on the inside and outside help me keep my stuff organized, leaving the inside free to hold everyone’s jackets or bathing suits and a couple of towels.(#momlife) When it’s full of anything weighty - like water bottle and a snack lunchbox, it does pull on the shoulders a bit. The chest clip comes in handy for that and helps a ton. The two negatives: when it has hard items in it, I need to put a folded jacket or towel in the inside back pocket to cushion my back. This is a minor thing because I’m usually packing one anyway. Also, one side of the chest clip fell off somewhere along a trail about a year ago. I have a replacement in my cart for $6.99 because it’s worth it to replace rather than buy a new pack because I like this one so much. I also LOVE that it folds up into itself to bring along for daily use on bigger trips inside my big pack. Great buy, especially for the price.
