This pack is brilliant, i have used it for Hiking, Mountain biking, commuting and college but mainly mountain biking and college it has held up to so many bumps, scraps and unscheduled dismounts off my bike, while all so being thrown down in lecture rooms and fitness suites and it still looks quite smart. The only thing i didn't like about the pack was the ice axe loop at the bottom because when i stood up in my bike ready for a decent it got caught on my seat so i cut it off. In conclusion this is an all round pack that can be used in almost any activity.
