I just got this pack, I bought it as a day pack and to carry my snow shoes. I took it out for the first time on a snow shoeing trip this weekend. It expanded pretty well, and I was able to keep all of my over night things in it which was really nice, I wasn't expecting it to be that big. I also went on this trip with a youth group I work with and two of the young ladies couldn't walk in their snow shoes, or carry them so I strapped their snow shoes (along with mine) to the back of the pack. Aside from the five miles of snow packed hard snow and three pairs of snow shoes on my back, the pack was a life saver and held up really well!! I really like this pack, and being made out of 34 recycled bottles is a plus too! It would be nice if it had a pocket on the outside to put my water bottle in, but there is a slot for my camel back bladder, so it kind of works itself out!
