I tried many backpacks in REI. I thought that expensive ones that costs like $300 would be more comfortable. But I was surprised that this Kelty Moraine backpack was just perfectly comfortable without any adjustment. I put emphasis on comfortableness because I returned a backpack that I bought from Walmart. It was such a pain while I was wearing it during a day hike. Before you buy any backpack, I suggest you try this. It's really comfortable.

I bought 3600, and it is a little bit bigger as a day hike. I think that it is perfect for 2 day hike, possibly 3 day. But even for a day hike, it is good to have enough room for emergency clothes, and others. And I don't have any problem using it as a day hike bakcpack.

I like the two water bottle pockets on both sides. Many backpacks don't have them, or just on one side, or just way too small. I also like the two side pockets which are big enough, and deep. To help pulling out the contents in the pocket, it has a zipper from top to bottom. So, you don't need to waste time in finding items from the pocket mouth. For added security of the pocket it has velcro on each side that is split by the zipper.
A big pocket on the back has a few small pockets inside, so that you can organize minor things, such as purse, cellphone, and so on.

My only complaint is that I wish it has a few small pockets on the hip-belt. More expensive backpacks have these. I would pay more if Moraine offers them.

The backpack was exactly as described. Lots of pockets for organizing everything. Easily adjusted to fit my body. Top compartment zips facing my body so is easily accessible for me but not pickpockets, so I use that for putting my valuables. Lots of room in the large compartment, but I've learned that I have to organize properly when packing in there so that I'm not always digging to the bottom for what I need. Love the backpack!

My dream after high school was to backpack across Europe. I didn't get a chance to do it until I was 35. This is the backpack I used and I have to say that it was great. It carried all my stuff and kept the weight distributed so that it didn't feel heavy. I'm not sure what the $300 backpacks do that this one doesn't, but if you're going to Europe for 2 weeks, this will do just fine.

I purchased this item for my daughter for a Christmas gift and she was very particular about the exact backpack she wanted. Needless to say she is very pleased with it and had her choice of any brand or model. This was her choice and what she beleives is the best one for her.
