Mountainsmith Lumbar-Recycled Series Swift TLS R Backpack

I purchased the cobalt Mountainsmith Tour in November 2011 and loved it for school and bike commutes, however the only problem was the size. It was simply too big for the "daily purse/bag" or lite hiker.

After a lot of research I decided to go with Mountainsmith again and purchase this new Swift TLS in black. It is absolutely perfect for the daily use bag! It fits all misc daily items and still has room for more without looking too bulky.

The front shove-it pocket is deeper and more secure than indicated in the pictures too. It can safely fit a phone, notepad, pens, mp3, and whatever else you decide to stuff. The compression straps can also double in function to hold a spare shirt or light rain shell. The hip belt is perfect too, just the right size and durability with airflow and security.

I would say the only drawbacks I have experienced with this bag are the chest strap (too slender/minimal adjustment and does not sit right on my back and shoulders), no haul handle (such as the one found on the tour) and difficulty carrying my extra large water bottles (this of course defeats the "light day bag" concept however).

Overall this is an awesome pack and I highly recommend it!

For the price, this is exactly what we were looking for in a small day pack and as a front pack for longer hikes. It's the perfect size for a couple of water bottles, a camera, snacks, a small first aid kit, map, compass, and other small things you might need to reach for during a hike. We are very happy with this bag.

I wanted a small lumbar pack that I could stuff a jacket, water bottle and a few snacks into but would be unobtrusive and comfortable. That is what I received. These Mountainsmith packs are a little pricey but well made and inovative.
