Comfort
Atlas Packs Athlete
Important: Choose the Adventure or Athlete hip belt – otherwise you will have literally no padding on your hips. I don’t recommend using the bag without a hipbelt either. The Adventure belt is more comfortable as it provides two layers of foam padding and a wider webbing and buckle – it’s also bigger and bulkier.

This pack is very minimalist, breathes well, and is quite comfortable. I've taken it on multiple 50-mile rides on my gravel bike and found it very comfortable and well riding for a unit with no hipbelt. Pocket is big enough for keys, wallet, etc., but not big enough for tire pump, larger repair items if your deeper away from the cars
Hiking

I also purchased a Capture Clip from Peak Designs which allows you to fix the camera to the shoulder strap in place while hiking – a great addition to this pack.

It worked out great because the same bladder system can be used in our Osprey packs when we thru-hike. These days when we do day hikes of maybe 15km or more, we use them because we have them - it's a convenient way to carry a litre of water, your keys, bug spray, sunscreen and some snacks. But given the type of hikes we do now, I wouldn't go running out to buy a new one.

However, I always give a little squeeze test prior to donning the pack on my back. It is just as easy to get it right as it is to get it wrong.

I bought this one since I wanted a new one for summer and all mine were packed. The good stuff about this one: Love the mesh straps. Love the ability to fill without taking it out of the pack. Love the new cap and handle The bad stuff: I don't like the new mouth piece
