Plus, the Proteus provides support for the Pygmy Falcon II riding on top of it, distributing weight like a waist belt. For multi-day hikes, I wear the Proteus on my waist and I still have the entire Pygmy Falcon riding high on my shoulders to fill up with equipment and supplies. The Proteus is great for EDC and short strolls away from the car, and for longer day hikes I put the Proteus in the main compartment of the Pygmy Falcon which I also use to carry water, food and rain gear.

Nice carrying handle on top for just picking it up to carry down at your side.Īt last, I've found a small pack to use as the central part of what I'd call a Maxpedition modular hiking system. I did not want a waist strap as they seem to get in the way and be a nuisance if it's not needed. No strap around the waist, but for a pack of this size, it shouldn't be needed.

I bought this pack looking for a compact, yet useful, quality pack for day-trips.
