This pack is awesome! The med/large is a great size for day trips and it is super light. Simple but efficient.
I would recommend this product.

This pack was exactly what I was looking for. I originally had reservations because of previous reviews discussing the amount of straps, but they all have a function and have been very handy so far.
I would recommend this product.

...but I can't find it.
A day's worth of climbing gear? Check, easy.
Short backpacking trip? Check.
Five-day front country trip...with extra shell and layers for a ski day? Done.
Seven-minute sprinted connection in the world's busiest airport? Oh yes--no kidding. I barely even felt the pack on my back--no clumsy bouncing or "wide load" problems moving through a crowd--which is probably why I made the plane. AND it fit easily in the overhead.
Perhaps more useful for you: it runs true to size, is very adjustable for a daypack, and fits this female well (I usually can't get unisex packs to fit right). The suspension is fantastic. As far as capacity goes, I'd swear it's bigger on the inside. It's a great blend of simple overall design and useful details, like the mesh pocket on the underside of the lid, the elasticized front overflow pocket panel, and the well-designed hydration bladder sleeve and ports.
This is a winner!
I would recommend this product.

After writing this review, I took this pack on a two-week international trip. It was my only luggage except a small computer bag. So not only have I STILL not found what it can't do, I can now say it will also:
- carry about 8 days' worth of stuff (if you don't plan to do laundry) suited to late fall travel in Europe, or enough stuff for a short winter backpacking trip
- fit (packed) in almost all hostel lockers.
- carry about 8 days' worth of stuff (if you don't plan to do laundry) suited to late fall travel in Europe, or enough stuff for a short winter backpacking trip
- fit (packed) in almost all hostel lockers.

Overall, a great pack and a much needed personal upgrade. I'd recommend it, but with two reservations: 1. It is festooned with needless (and needlessly complicated) straps. There are so many loose ends that it looks like a tattered big wall belay. The hip strap takes the cake for pointless over-engineering. Why does a day pack need such an over-the-top system?
2. The closures, while snazzy, are needlessly complicated and defy one-handed operation. Again - it's just pointlessly over-engineered. Case-in-point: the hook enclosure for the top flap is goofy and hangs up on every attempt to open it. This is deeply annoying, like a zipper that won't close without repeated tugging. Mine is destined to be cut off and replaced with a more functional buckle.
Still, a very nice pack, but if you're looking for straightforward functionality, this ain't it.
I would recommend this product.

Surprisingly ample room for my two-person tent, 20 degree bag, food, water, clothing, etc., for a 2-night excursion into the wilderness. Good overall design.
I would recommend this product.

this is my second Fluid daypack and is another great design. has good support with plenty of room for clothes, food, etc. good for a weekend trip. the integrated hydration sleeve is great. would be pretty cool if a MP3 player clip/support system can be integrated to one of the straps.
I would recommend this product.

My new "go to" pack
PostedFebruary 8, 2012
I bought this as an all around pack I could use around campus and on weekend trips. So far it has delivered in every way!! The compression system allows the pack to snug down to the right volume when it is partially full and expand to carry everything for a light weekend trip.

Really well thought-out, functional pack.
PostedFebruary 2, 2012
Somes bright minds went into the design of this pack, and the details show it. There are just the right amount of pockets at just the right places, and the buckle closure is a really cool idea (albeit kind of tricky to open sometimes). My favorite thing about this pack is just how compressible it is. With the compression straps drawn and the top loop used to close the top (there are two - smart), you've got a very compact pack. WIth all the straps loose and the lid on the lower loop, you have a surprising capacity to work with. It's also very stable while hiking.
4/5 stars because although I love it, the straps are needlessly long. I had to do a lot of tying and tucking to keep them from swinging and dangling all over. Otherwise though, definitely the best day pack I've owned.
