Good 45L pack if you want a clear “weekend trip” size without going huge. It fits enough for 2-3 days (or more if you pack smart), and the frame/strap setup usually carries better than simple tactical-style bags when the load gets heavier. The red color is a nice bonus for visibility - easy to spot in a car, on a trail, or in a busy camp area. Comfort is the main selling point at this volume. With the hip belt tightened correctly, it takes weight off the shoulders and feels much more stable on longer walks. Organization is fine, but like with most 45L packs, using packing cubes makes life easier so small items don’t disappear. Downsides: 45L can tempt you to overpack, and then you really feel the weight. Also, bright colors show dirt faster, especially on the lower panels. Overall, a solid choice for hiking, travel, and weekend camping when you want comfort and capacity in a reasonable size.
