Salida™ 5 5 1 1
The Perfect Daypack I am very impressed with this pack. It rides well so much so, I don't even notice it on my back. It is comfortable even on warm weather Hawaiian hikes I am doing now. The construction is sturdy as is all Mountain Hardware gear I have used over the years. I work as a guide in Alaska in the summer, and I am sure this pack will hold up on the many hikes I will be doing there too. It has two roomy compartments each easily assessable, the outer one with two padded slots for phone, GPS and other sensitive electronics. I also like the zipper pulls. Zippers are usually the first to go on packs and the zippers on the Salada are hefty and work well. The only addition I would have liked is one smaller outside pocket that zipper closes for those one or two items you want to get to quickly. But I know too many pockets on a pack are not advantageous requiring more searching for items. Great pack. Oh and I especially like the color: the deep wine red. February 20, 2013
