Pros:
Comfortable, Easy to drink, easy to use
Best Uses:
Day Trips, Long Day Trips, On Hot Days, Speed Hiking
Describe Yourself:
Avid Hiker, Casual Trail Runner
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
The pack is very comfortable when walking or hiking, and it holds just the right amount of water for a long day on the trail. However, it does bounce a lot when running. I tried it high on my hips and low around my waist and it was still awkward. I would recommend this product for speed hikers or hikers that go on long day hikes and don't like the feel of a backpack or back heat generated from a backpack. Trail runners would not be happy with this product.

I purchased this pack to use on long run's for marathon training. It is not good for running . With water in the bottles it bounces a lot.
