First, it holds enough water for a long dayhike, which is the reason I bought it in the first place. Next, it&#8217;s\u00a0has the pockets I want for different types of gear. I can place big things in the large pouch, and then place snacks, keys, camera lens, etc. in the slightly smaller pouch near the top for easy access. It also has two additional pouches on either side for water bottles, which aren&#8217;t usually necessary but nevertheless, a good feature to have. The product is durable, a nice color, and comfortable even on long hikes. It becomes an extension of me while hiking, and almost never leaves my back.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/81iYs5rrAdL._SY679_.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-534 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/81iYs5rrAdL._SY679_.jpg\" alt=\"camelbak adventura\" width=\"328\" height=\"679\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/81iYs5rrAdL._SY679_.jpg 328w, https:\/\/nextstopadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/81iYs5rrAdL._SY679_-145x300.jpg 145w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 328px) 100vw, 328px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Water +\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1Odzmyn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Electrolytes<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Pack enough water for length of trip, time of day, and climate.

It makes the camera <em>way more<\/em> functional. The only downside on this one is that our housing for this is either not waterproof (for the touchscreen part) or you cannot touch the screen (if you have a waterproof housing on). It still works for viewing the photos and what you are taking a photo of before taking it, which is nice.<\/p>\n<p>Day hiking gear also varies based on your personal preferences, and of course the hike itself.
