The carry handles can be secured together with a snapping strap, which is a nice feature that helps bring the bag frame back together when its unzipped
The Rainier also packs in features rarely found at this budget-friendly price, such as pit zips, internal dump pockets, adjustable cuffs, and a highly effective hood with a semi-rigid visor and cinch cord
Best for style-conscious students because it reads as an outfit piece, not just gear
I used to carry tote bags and shoulder bags for my classes and it was terrible because the weight of the bag is Whats In My Backpack? The essentials, the extras, and maybe a few just in case items From study must-haves to my everyday faves, heres everything I carry to survive (and thrive) this semester
YES I LOVED this thru-hiking backpack and used it until it died
