This is a fantastic pack. Not quite water proof but very close and could probably be made so with seam sealer. Very comfortable and spacious. The side pockets are a little awkward for water bottles but work just fine. The only complaint I have is that the hip belt comes loose at the back and dropped on me twice. The through strap and the secondary adjustment straps both worked loose. I put a couple of stitches in it to secure and seems to work just fine now. Overall it is an amazing pack for the money.
It’s nicely sew. Except where the hip belt goes through the pack body. Leaves a hole for water to enter.
