For day hikes, I missed having side pockets for my water bottles, so that I could grab them without fully taking the pack off
And for those of us who fish for the smaller fish, it really does not matter to the fish which type of gear you use
The slightest ripple on the surface or twitch of the rod tip gets that tail fluttering with a life-like action
These bottom side flaps are extremely difficult to use when the pack is fully loaded, plus if the side flap pockets are full, they constrict some of the main compartments real estate, which I didnt love
Materials & Aesthetic Like we said with the Patagonia Black Hole Duffel Bag 40L, this pack sports a look thats, well, sort of sportycasual yet attractively stylish, as the dictionary would define it
