My family went hiking at a nearby park this weekend and I used the Scipio Lightweight hiking Backpack 40L to carry my hydration bladder, camera and snacks. A bladder is not included, but I was easily able to set one of mine up. I like the padding at the bottom of the pack around the hips. Even more so, I like the pockets in that area, because I can easily reach down and open versus needing to take off my pack to grab something from the back. My bladder was protected and had no issues. I was able to hold all that I needed and more. The color is pleasing and wpuld be appropriate for either a male or female. The zippers open smoothly and I am very happy with the quality of the pack! 5 stars!!
