Sharp looking and very well made. I’ve been using mine for several weeks now. The materials are more pleasing to the touch and eye vs other average nylon Pack. It’s thin so it stays close to the body. While I enjoy how well it holds its shape, it does feel a bit boxy. Unfortunately, there are a few negatives, the shoulder straps aren’t as comfortable over the shoulder closer to the neck for me. Also, the padding on the back is not thick enough in my opinion so there is some heat and sweat. My guess is that it’s designed to have a lot of wind from biking but, it’s just not enough. One last complaint, there’s a large elastic area on the face of the pack that picks up a white ish looking dust. So I’m constantly wiping it off. With all that said, it still feels great, I’m proud to walk around with a brooks product and I really enjoy using it. It’s strong and beautiful .
