Great Choice! I took this bag all over south east asia for 4 months & I loved it! It heald up great & still looks like new. The size was just right & the slim line of the pack makes it easy to get on buses & the like... The only regret is I took a top loading pack out for so long... The things in the bottom never saw the light of day & all the heavy stuff like books & shoes ended up on top as it was easier than puting them in the bottom. My back is unhappy about that... The bag could use more pockets & maybe some more padding on the waist belt. It's not extremly adjustiable but fit me (6'-0") just fine. I'm sad to sell it right now but I need a bigger pack for the RTW trip planed & there's no way I'm taking a top loader.. Thinking of the Netherworld 70. Baiscally I'm hooked on Lowe Alpine because I was so impressed with my Vision 40.

Great value, great pack. It's not as adjustable as most, but it still fits nicely. There's a nice amount of room on the inside. There's a nice-sized pocket in the cover, which I find is perfect for first-aid supplies. The best thing about it is the amazing range of trips that you can take it on. It's best as a large daypack or for 2-3 day trips, but if you pack light, you can take it for up to a week in mild weather.

Customer Service

NMS sent me one instead of two packs at first, but they quickly corrected it and sent the second one with faster shipping.
