Dont judge this pack by its simple and sleek appearance: External access bladder pocket, sculpted backpanel with air channels, breathable mesh harness, waterproof SailCloth material, and waterproof zippers. Weight: 13oz Volume: 580cu"

yes it is
Bottom Line:
This is a really great pack. Feels like I am not wearing a pack. It does not move around at all - I do not have to 'bounce it' back into place after rough trails.
The pockets are easy to use while riding.
It holds plenty of stuff.
I highly recommend this pack.

Strengths:
Comfortable: Low center of gravity is good for back. Stable while riding. Wide, open web straps.
Weaknesses:
1)Won't work for most women: non-adjustable (can't move up or down) chest strap goes right over my breasts. 2) Poor construction at least in silver reflective material. Have used pack only about 4 times and seams are coming undone. 3) the placement of water tube is too low. I had to thread it through a cell phone holder I added. 4) open gu bottle pouch does not have a lid so can't secure a small cell phone (it could fall out). Had to add a phone holder.
