When a day of classes, stacked meetings, or daily treks have you loaded down like a yak, the Wakatu Backpack gets everything you need from A to B in organized comfort. Made with 100% recycled shell fabric, the Wakatu has two zippered main compartments with a huge array of organization, including padded sleeves for both a laptop and tablet.

 So the pack has a day-pack included that attaches inside the pack for ease of use and it has a clip inside to attach your bladder inside the day-pack. This is all and good however I don't really plan on using the day-pack and that bladder clip is the only one in the pack. So if you remove the day-pack you lose your mounting point. I found an easy fix that being some Velcro tape stuck together fed through an exposed portion of the metal frame at the top of the inside of the pack that allows me to hold a bladder in place (A zip-tie worked as well but is much less practical)

 So far I can only give initial impressions as my only real use thus far was a 3 mile overnight trip to the upper twin lake on Mt.Hood about a 3 mile hike. It performed pretty well for that but I still yet to put it though some more punishing things like get caught in a rainstorm to truly test how well it holds up in more undesirable circumstances. The sizing is a touch big but that was to be expected as I'm very thin but with a broad build making sizing of clothes and packs a little more challenging

My first real backpacking pack and its almost perfect

Ordered mine on sale in late spring, taken it on a handful of 10+ mile out & backs and a 20 mile summit so far, overall I’d say really great bag i’d expect nothing less from mountain hardwear. Excels in comfort, ventilation, and overall layout in my opinion compared to similar options from Osprey & REI brand bags, although a bit more spendy. The fit was pretty true to size, I have a 19” torso and 32” waist and the S/M fits me great. The sliding lumbar support really sells it for me, keeps the pack considerably more balanced and stable especially on more technical terrain

 The pack has held up well enough in both the rocky high desert as well as alpine bristlecone forests over my first season with it. The detachable day pack turned out to be a lot more useful than I originally expected when I ordered this pack, Great for small day hikes or dropping your main pack at camp to summit with the daypack. Daypack is pretty comfortable with a 3L bladder although a chest strap would be nice. Biggest gripe I’ve seen about the bag is the front mesh pocket, it hasn’t been a tear concern for me personally even in pretty thick brush, and I hardly use it for anything but wrappers anyway so rain getting the contents wet is not a concern for me either

great bag just a bit spendy

If you often find yourself traveling with heavy outdoor gear, the tapered shape of the REI Ruckpack may be just what you're looking for. The top-to-bottom zipper design allows for easy access and strategic packing, while the tapered shape encourages all heavy gear to stay down at the base. This helps keep the pack from getting top-heavy, creating an uneven weight distribution and causing discomfort or lack of balance. This travel backpack is the perfect airplane-to-trail bag for those trips when you are pressed for time or space. The comfortable harness system is completely stowable for long car trips or when checking your bag, and the easily accessible and organized side pockets are great for your travel essentials.
While we appreciate the side pocket organization, we found that some of the smaller pockets inside this bag are too shallow to feasibly hold anything. The shallow pocket theme extends to the two water bottle pockets on the sides, although these have improved since the last model. Most bottle sizes will fit but are not particularly secure when the bag isn't upright. The harder hip pads take a moment to get used to, so don't be surprised if you feel a little discomfort when you first put the pack on. The discomfort only lasted a few uses and, once broken in, offers ample support.

 There'S a lot of loops and fabric straps on the outside of this bag that you're, probably not gon na use for travel, but would come in really handy if you're using this bag on the trail for hiking. There'S these bungee cords up here. It'S got fabric loops down here, there's sixteen hidden daisy chains and a couple other more bungee, straps and loops, so there's probably about 30 or so different, bungee, cord straps and loops and the outside of this bag. Again, probably more than you're gon na need in your standard, in addition to those straps and loops, the outside of this pack also has two water bottle pockets, one on each side

 The fabric loop for the backpack straps and the rainfly most of the exterior organization on this pack is going to come from this top brain pocket and then these two kind of long skinny side pockets. The one on the left side has a bunch of little compartments in there for travel documents, electronics, passport, etc, and then the pocket on the other side just opens up. It has a small mesh separator and you can actually access the inside of the bag from that pocket. One of the great features on the ruck pack or the back packing straps REI makes a lot of camping and backpacking gear and they put a lot of the same features into the ruckpack as they do when they're backpacking backpacks

 It has two compression straps on the side, as well as a top brain pocket. These two long side, pockets that run the length of the pack and then the bottom of the pack is where it's stored.

The one on the left side has a bunch of little compartments in there for travel documents, electronics, passport, etc, and then the pocket on the other side just opens up

 It has these pretty big, thick backpack straps, there's a lot of buckles and straps and attachments on the outside of the bag that caused this thing to weigh in at about four point: two: five pounds: I have the men's version of the ruck pack and one of The reasons why this is kind of a good overall backpack for a lot of people is because it comes in two sizes, there's the men's version, which fits me pretty good at about 510 and then there's the women's version, which will fit torso length and hip ratio That are a little bit smaller than this bag. There'S a lot of features in this backpack that are more akin to a backpacking backpack, as opposed to a travel bag. There'S a lot of loops and fabric straps on the outside of this bag that you're, probably not gon na use for travel, but would come in really handy if you're using this bag on the trail for hiking.

REI Ruckpack 40 Review

 A lot of the problems are related to weight savings, which makes sense for a hiking like day pack.

 The water bottle spots on the sides are big and can be tightened, very nice. Even that front netting is useful sometimes.  But I don't really hike, I bought the pack as a daily driver and it's not suited. The pack just isn't robust enough, but then it's a little too tall so it flops over when you set it down

  But I don't really hike, I bought the pack as a daily driver and it's not suited. The pack just isn't robust enough, but then it's a little too tall so it flops over when you set it down. The pouch for the water bladder isn't quite enough for a laptop. There aren't quite enough larger pockets, nor is there a real organizer pocket

It's alright.

, So that bag is going to sit a little bit higher on your back, which helps distribute the load. Small note. On the women's focus version, if the pack is a little bit higher on your back, you have a ponytail or long hair that can stick right into the back of the pack. Hannah can verify [ Hannah ] ``, Yep !'', Starting with the straps we've got some Decent density foam going on here that helps with a comfortable carry

 We were a little bit confused on this, however, because the anchor is about halfway down the strap., And this is especially noticeable on the men's version.. When you pull and tighten this, the strap can kind of get crumpled up

, Just to make it more functional, with the intended use case of each side.. Moving on to the main access of the pack, these zippers here are lockable, which is a nice additional security feature.
