A Flexible Everyday Bag

By: Marcus on 8 June 2019

A perfect size for either EDC or a day hike. It's not too big nor too small. It can fit a surprisingly large amount of items for its size. An added bonus to its carry ability, you can stash something within the shock cord area or in the generous side mesh pockets. So far it has been an excellent replacement day pack that can be adapted to whatever scenario. It is versatile, reliable and functional.
