REI Co-op Flash 22 Pack vs TRIP PACK AEVOR

I hadn't planned to get the Flash, but after trying on a bunch, that one was the one that felt the best for me. If you're a beginner backpacker, you're probably hiking with some heavy and/or bulky gear, so it's even more important to get a comfortable pack that fits you properly (they'll measure you at the store).

The shape of the bag looks awkward from a profile This Bag would look alot better if it was upside down with a top slash pocket In conclusion I'll say this, Kelty should stop making their bags from 420D polyester and start using 420d ripstop nylon or higher on their bags. Make the next Redwing 44 carry on size like it use to be, and add a longer torso length with some hip belt pockets also the inner lining of your bags should be made of 75-100d nylon, its pretty weak right now. And then I'll go back to being your customer in the blink of an eye .

But if you do have the trekking poles attached to the package so you can't expect the pack is, sit up very nicely. Alright, so now that this is fully ...

They felt too small and aren't very useful once the compression strap is used. Instead, I clipped my 32oz water bottle somewhere with a carabiner. The bag isn't water resistant or water proof so you would need to get a rain cover if you are planning on using it in the rain for any long duration/hiking. If that is the case, I would get a rain cover even if my bag waterproof/water resistant

However, it is surprisingly comfy, giving you good support when you're carrying your items with you. Even though it offers minimalistic features, this...

The size and organization layout are proper and good, but wearing as a backpack for travel is not comfortable to me. Fabric and build quality are first rate, but something is lacking in ergonomics imho.

really. as you can see, it doesn't have any outside pockets, so getting anything in and out of here is very difficult. There's no hip belt and that wa...

It was TSA compliant for carry on. Again, I am sure it will work for me other than airport travel, and quality top notch.

For flights, as “personal item” stowed under seat in front in economy, this has a better volume and extra useful features like the flap lid and exterior mesh pockets compared with the Flash 18...but the Flash 18 is a lot narrower and I can stick a foot on either side with the Flash 18 but not the Flash 22, which tends to hog all the under seat space

The two slot pockets on the flap(top) are okay for laptops or tablets, but are generally too thin and deep for other use. The inner compartment only has a flat mesh pocket, also part of the flap (top). An small inner pocket at the top or side would be nice for inner organization Maybe a slit pocket at the bottom to conceal small items, passports? There are inner straps to control the load horizontally. I'd like to have at least one vertical inner strap with different attachment points for greater stability and compacting

THis is a great little backpack. Only giving it 4 stars because the zipper didn't work very smoothly. Otherwise, no complaints!

Here's what I loved: 1) Excellent workmanship with tough materials. It's built very well and inspires confidence. Materials are first-class and zippers are tough and precise. 2) Extremely comfortable
