Overall a great backpack, I have used it on many trips and I am very happy with this purchase. My wife and I are often outdoors with a variety of activities including beach trips, walks with our puppy, walking trials, hiking, biking, and more. This backpack is really able to support all our activities. We can bring a lot of extra water for the fur babies on the trails (sometimes we just fill them with water jugs and let them drink from the wide mouth part). We literally stuffed all kinds of clothes, games, whatever into it and didn't find it "too heavy". We also bought some locking S-clips that attach to the rings on the outside so we could carry a speaker or another small bag with wet clothes outside, which was very helpful.
