I have a Mountainsmith Tour pack just like this one, but an earlier generation. Yours has several new features I like. I have had mine for 6 years now and have abused it weekly. It has never let me down. I would have thought that I would have busted the zippers by now as I over stuff mine often and at times use it for an ammo bag (serious weight in it). Every stitch on the bag has held despite the abuse I've given it. I may get this newer generation and relegate this older one to an emergency bag for the car or something. Great review. Thanks for the detail.

Thanks for the quick response. I already have an Al Mar folder but couldn't decide on a fixed, so thanks once again

your videos are always the most informational for gear reviews, yet not being too long... keep up the good work and God bless!

I have had a High Sierra Diplomat Lumbar Pack for over 9 years. Your review has me thinking its time to upgrade.

Picked one of these up today. perfect for carrying my MSR pocket rocket stove, pot, and water to make coffee on hikes as well as the little bit of molle for lashing knives. Winner!

[ThePreparedWanderer]

They did a great job redesigning this bag. Finally subdued colors! Great video!

[John-ofsh]

Excellent reviews Sir. Appreciate hearing the Con's as much or more than the Pros. Lot to be said for this bag. Thanks for taking the time to share your input!

Good review. I picked up the 9 liter model a few months ago and am very happy with it. I did get the strappettes and they really make the bag for hiking. Being winter in the northeast, hikes are usually shorter, so a fanny pack is ideal. The problem I had with my old fanny pack is being cold, I wear a light down jacket. The slickness of the jacket causes the fanny pack to keep sliding down. The suspender like strappettes solve the problem perfectly. I agree about your 2 flaws, Being a small daypack the organization issue doesn't really matter to me. The lack of a left hand belt pocket is a major flaw. Still I am more than satisfied. Very well built. I really like the wide belt straps. I did get the brown color. It was the cheapest. The color looks a lot better in person than on amazon.

I literally just yesterday watched your video on the Mountainsmith Day pack from like 3 years ago. Of course that one is an older design and different material, but the sizing seems to be about the same as the new model. I have been wanting a good lumbar pack after seeing Cody Lundin carry an older (at least 20 yr old) Mountainsmith bag on a recent course of his that I attended. Still debating on the Day or Tour but I will get one or both at some point. Thanks for both videos, very informative!

Thanks for an extremely informative video. I've been looking at Mountainsmith's larger version, the Day pack. What kept me from purchasing it was that I wanted to know whether I could use a hydration bladder in the tablet sleeve and run the hose through the earphone hole. Well, now I know I can do that on the Tour, so I'm sure I can do this on the Day. Thanks again.

Excellent review, I just ordered this bag as my EDC!!

[machbaby]

Excellent review! Well shot and you explain the product very well without being overly wordy. I agree, strange Mountainsmith would only add one hip belt pocket. Fortunately, there are several companies that make those pockets which can be adapted to almost any hip belt. I was glad to see they redesigned the water bottle pouches that have much better retention. After cinching down the the elastic cord tight, you can then stretch the remaining loop over the top of the bottle making it even more secure. I'd be willing to bet it would hold up fine while mountain biking or trail running without the fear of jettisoning your bottles. I'm glad I stumbled on your channel. New subscriber, here.

Cheers.

I have the Day TLS recycled version, I find it much more comfortable hiking in the California heat as a backpack makes my back sweaty. or I can use it like a messenger bag. I tuck away the straps with rubber bands since mine is older. Highly versatile bag!

[DjTallyIndia]

I have been using this pack for a couple o years... it actually is a multi-tool of the pack world. Well said.

[PreparedWolf]

Add this to a Ribs pack and you have one heck of a "Go Bag." 👍🏼

[kurtthecat]

Nice complete review of this pack. I'm an avid day hiker and have owned 5 of the Tour packs for the last 20 years. I'm glad they finally changed the water bottle pockets! I agree with your on the left side belt which they left totally blank. What were they thinking? Even a couple molle loops would have been nice.

[justmeiswear]

You made me feel like I NEED this bag in my life...and then you gave the price point. It's very affordable and I heard you mention high quality at least twice so I'm feeling the pressure!

[amightysailingman]

9:55 They tried that in the past, back in 2001 with their Cairn lumbar pack, which has exactly the kind of organizer compartment you're wishing for. A good sized one that had a U-shaped zipper to open wide. Apparently didn't sell very well as they discontinued it within a year or two. I don't think they'll try that again.

[warlantactical]

Get your self the Kitanica scorpion pack i was one of the first to get one it trumps all competition and i grew up around mountain smith and mountain hardware days .

But the Kitanica Scorpion pack is the best period

[qzetu]

Looks like a good waist pack at a decent price point. I like the fact that it offers that shoulder system.
