TRAIL-TESTED BY HIKERS
BACKPACK PERFECTION! I used mine for the first time this week hiking in Banff. Can't wait to use it in the Canyon! Well done, hiKin!
I have had a lot of packs over the years, and this has become my go-to since it arrived. Looking forward to using it in the Canyon and in Yosemite later this year.
I've been training with it for about two months now. Those front pockets, the insulated pocket for my bladder, the big roomy side pockets...hiKin's Rim2Rim Pack is amazing.
