Pros: For trail riding it's a 5! Versatile, light, hold up to 3 liters of fluid, and quick disconnects for those sticky situations.

Cons: Nada

Recommendation: Mine were issued. More than enough for a days ride. Recommended if you're looking for something light and versatile for the day.

Model/Year: 2010 Hardrock

Pros: Love this pack, it sits well on your back holds lots of water (3 liters) has plenty of room for a days ride (I usually carry several meal bars first aid kit wallet, cell phone, multi tool, hatchet, machete, several survival knives, and my homemade survival kit)

Cons: This pack is not setup for more than a days ride unless your willing to survive on the land

Recommendation: I highly recommend this pack just don't expect it to keep you on a trail for a week

Pros: GOOD VENTILATION, FREE (FOR MILITARY)

Cons: SMALL POCKETS, PRICE (NON MILITARY), BULKY

Recommendation: There are definitely better packs out there especially for the price. Bulkier than other packs because the pockets are so deep but they aren't tall enough to fit extra water bottles for long distance trips.
