Bottle Bright by HydraPack. Bottle Bright is biodegradable and all natural, does not contain chlorine, and comes in convenient tablets to clean your bottles and other drinking vessels from stains, smells and gunk. Perfect to carry around on multi-day hikes where you don’t have access to cleaning tools. It works on plastics and stainless steel.

Cotopaxi Luzon 18L. This is the featured item, and it comes in this tiny pouch!

It’s easy to open and get the backpack out of the pouch. I haven’t tried to put it back inside yet, but I’m sure it’s not too complicated.

The only thing you need to flip inside out is the pouch that becomes a front pocket.

The shoulder straps are comfortable, as long as you don’t carry too much heavy gear and equipment. There’s two front clips, bust and waist high, that can be adjusted to better fit on your body and distribute the weight on your torso. The top closure is a simple rope-pull closure, so no zipper or anything to keep your stuff 100% away from the elements.

The fabric is quite breathable, but would probably not be great under heavy rain. Inside the backpack, there’s a narrow sleeve that runs top to bottom for your hydration pack. My husband found this backpack quite comfortable, but I feel that it was to high for my torso and no matter the adjustment I was making to it, it was awkward for my neck.

This is a welcoming box for new susbcribers, and it’s perfect to start your adventure. Even though I complained a bit about the backpack, it still a great well made backpack that will last through a lot of daily hike, and it’s light enough that I won’t mind using it.
