 got it in red, but it's 'green'! May 21, 2009
By willie
"roadie"
Had a hard time deciding between the Tour or the Day (which is larger), but the Tour is perfect for my needs of simple urban treks to and through local parks or fishing on the pier. This pack is simply fabulous. The material is heavy duty and looks like it will hold up. The fit, finish, stitching, buckles, straps, and padding are top notch. Bright yellow inside for visibility. Small zippered hanging bag inside. Key clip in outer zip pocket.
Belt is wide and long enough for Clydesdales. I don't know why no manufacturer provides belt length in specs, but I'm grateful for this feature because of all the beer and chili dogs in my recent past.
Although the bottle pockets are advertised as deep enough for 32oz'rs, I'd take that info with a grain of salt. Enough room for me to carry a micro umbrella, .75L mug/pot, 220gm fuel canister, Optimus Crux stove, lighter, coffee cup, spork, Cup o' Noodles or ramen, wallet, keys, cell phone, small digital camera, handheld dual-band amateur radio transceiver, and a couple of water bottles with no problem.
The really cool thing about this pack (and the Day), is the flexibility of wear and use. For example, you can use the pack as a shoulder bag with the included padded shoulder strap. Stow the strap in the padded pocket in the small of the back and wear as a lumbar pack. Stow the strap and fold the waist pads and belt into two hidden side pockets and carry this like a tool bag. Add the 'Strapette,' (purchased separately), and you can wear as a small daypack or support much heavier loads in the pack as a lumbar.
Finally, I'm no tree-hugger, but it is nice that an effort has been made by the manufacturer to create this pack using material made (partially) from recycled water bottles - nearly 20 according to the little tag included with the bag.
Buy this product with confidence. I'm sure you'll be pleased.
UPDATE: I've discovered that this bag is *perfect* as a handlebar bag on my vintage Specialized Rockhopper mountain bike. With the hip belt inserted and reverse-buckled, a single short bungee looped around the head tube and latched onto a loop on each side holds this bag firmly in front and off the front tire - w00t! BONUS!

 Sags significantly when loaded Mar 07, 2011
By DaveClarkVibe
I purchased this for day hikes, disc golf, and as a go-bag. After purchasing it, I loaded it up with 2 bottle (short ones, because it can't really hold tall ones effectively) and some gear for a hike. It didn't move a lot, but that sagging from the top really became annoying. Also, even my small bottle kept coming out on the trail. The only fix was to use the compression (not cinch) strap to hold it in.
Over time it began to cause fatigue and soreness in lower back from how much it sagged.
I am not willing to add the Strapettes, because then I might as well have a backpack.
Truly, the design is flawed, as the hip belt is aligned too low on this pack. If it were higher, the sagging would not happen, and the lower part would naturally rest in the right place.
I really wanted to like this. However, for the price, I had hoped for better design.
Another factor in my returning this item was the very low denier fabric. Over time, I'm not convinced the bottom of the bag would hold up.

 Great bag, inadequate bottle pockets Feb 17, 2010
By James E. Logan
I love this bag for its comfort and substantial volume. I can carry a lot of stuff on the trail for a long time in real comfort. But I'll be blunt: the water bottle pockets are inadequate. Seriously. They're advertised as being able to handle 32-ounce bottles (think Nalgene), and they will fit, but the pockets are so shallow the bottles WILL fall out if you do anything other than just walk. Why can't Mountainsmith design acceptable pockets for the most common water bottles for hikers? It's not hard: JUST MAKE THEM DEEPER. Other than that, it's a great pack.

Awesome!! Aug 26, 2009
By Elizabeth G. Lewis
"Life Camper"
I worked at a summer camp and this thing was so nice- it held a lot and wasn't as hot or cumbersome as a backpack. I actually have been too lazy to move my stuff out into a normal purse. If you can get past the fact that people think you're wearing a huge fannypack it's pretty amazing.

Fine bag Sep 26, 2010
By Koho
I don't know what all you other folks are doing with this bag, but to me it seems to be overkill construction for such a small bag.
Heavy stiff material, and so many straps! I bought it thinking I would use it to collect rocks, which always end up filling my pockets when I hike, and every niche of my backpack. Even so- the weight of rocks in this small pack doesn't seem to need the industrial quality materials...
Nice pack, but I'm not choosing it for my frequent everyday use
