Besides being a nice overview with some good examples from your actual use, this was genuinely enjoyable to watch! :) Thank you!

The short bungie cords near the top and webbing loops near the bottom are to hold hiking poles. The hidden daisy chains looks like they are meant for another longer bungie cord to criss-cross the front of the bag - to tie things down - like a jacket. These features are pretty common for hiking packs.

Hey! What year did you buy this? I’m having a hard time finding that color and I believe they may have updated some things/colors. Do you know the name of the color? Thanks so much for the review!

Hi there! I bought it in 2020. If I’m not mistaken, they called it “Tawny” but it’s more of a rust/terracotta color in real life. And I think they definitely updated some things. I hope it’s for the better! Looking at the images of the “Recycled 28 Liter Ruckpack” it looks like they took off one of the water bottle holders, changed the airflow for the back, and took away the top pouch. I’m curious to know how it compares!

@@onlyabag thank you so much for the reply! I really love that color and am sad that I cannot find it online anywhere since they discontinued it. I hope the updates to the new version are good as well. I may wait until some new colors come out to purchase it. That “Tawny” is gorgeous!
