REI Co-op Flash 18 Print Pack

Alright everybody. So in conclusion, the Flash 18 from REI is a very versatile pack. It's durable

I bought this pack about 2 years ago, and I have certainly gotten my moneys worth. The pocket on the front of the bag is very handy and larger than you think - I put my phone, headlamp, TP and chapstick in there no problem. The closure is a little weird, but once you are used to it I've had no probl...

We buy one bag for each personnes of us for our trip. ( 3 personnes)

We like it as it is light, for the dimensions, for the comfort as it is renforced in the back and for his inside pocket with a zip . The zip pocket is well placed because when you carry your backpack on your back, you can carry...

This is a GREAT day pack for traveling, walking around town, or going to the beach.

But NOT good for hikes.

I went on a 2 hour ascent over 2,000 feet and the bag stressed out my shoulders. Very weak support, so the bag needs to be very lightly filled, and you need to have to the opportunity to t...

For the price I paid for the bag definitely was a great bargain however for the functionality I had intended to use it it does pose several personal drawbacks that made me give this product a 3 stars. The straps does not feel substantially sturdy for the amount of belongings i need to bring on my hi...

The media could not be loaded. It is compact, lightweight, low profile and good for light travel. It has a good design for a "top loading" backpack. The mouth of the main compartment opens wide. The main compartment also has 2-way zippers which is good. There are mesh pockets on the side. Great to c...

This is a nice lightweight backpack and is great for stashing a few items. This is a great size option between a fanny pack and a typical backpack. To be clear, this is not a lightweight option to replace your typical backpack. This bag is not very big. If you use this to stash your beach towel, tha...

This daypack worked well, it was very light but rugged enough for a multi week trip. It can carry a poncho, misc items that you need to have with you but want to keep your hands free. Useful on a hiking trail for a short trip, going to the pool, beach, etc. Pro: It light, foldable, and reasonably ru...

I've had this pack for years. It's my go-to pack for a quick trip or errand when I need to carry a small number of items. Last week I tried it out for a serious hike: the Grand Canyon, 17 miles from rim to river and back again, down South Kaibob and back via Bright Angel. I had just enough room for ...

I have used this bag as a carry on, as a day pack, and currently use it to transport my gear to the climbing gym. It's a great size for me, and the opening of the bag does not lend itself easily to pick-pocketers while traveling, leaving me more at ease. There are some cons, though: the tab of fabri...
