My Review of REI Flash 18 Pack

Originally submitted at REI

Versatility is the name of the game with the REI Flash 18. For use in your larger backpack or duffel, this lightweight daypack cleverly converts into a stuff sack simply by turning it inside out!

4out of 5

Pros: Large capacity, Easy To Load, Comfortable, Highly Adjustable, Lightweight

Best Uses: Hiking, Day trip, Cycling

Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational

What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist

Was this a gift?: No

this is the ONLY bag i take on my day hike adventures. it's light and feels small on my back, yet it's bottomless when it comes to filling it. the daisy chains on the outside are great for clipping any additional gear that just won't fit in the interior.

i do wish there was a loop or snaps that my camelbak bladder could hang on inside the hydration pocket. for now i just slide it in the hydration sleeve and it collapses on itself as i empty it during the hike. thinking i might have to mod it to my liking.

even that one problem does not stop this from being one of the most amazing ultra light and basic bags out there. very streamlined and i love that about this pack. even bought one for my husband because i liked mine so much. i only hope rei keeps making them cause if mine ever kicks the bucket i want to replace it with another one.
