REI Co-op Ruckpack 40 Pack - Women's

So at this point I flip the bag up and just put the items in the top the rest of these smaller items: sunglasses, travel documents, passport, etc. You...

At the time of this review, Hannah our Staff Content's Strategist, and I have been testing both the men's and the women's version for one week, each. ...

I Find that it's actually I can't get tight enough on me, but just barely.

i like the farpoint but like others have said, organization is lacking. I don't like how the laptop spot is not next to the back. I just got a REI ruckpack 40 that was on sale, mainly cause i wanted to have an additional bag and the hip belt clip had broken on my farpoint. Ruckpack is like a farpoin...

Pros:
