The pack is well built and the size of the hydration unit is fine. There is sufficient storage space for some essential items while hiking.

The Mini-Me Hydration pack has turned into my favorite pack. I don't always use the hydration, but it's nice to have when I need it. It's storage is right on point with the size of the pack itself. Any more storage, and you would be hard pressed to carry it as well. The storage areas are well balanced in proportion to the size of the pack.
High quality materials go into building this pack, and I know the complete lineup of Eberlestock is created to the same high quality standard.

I wanted something small for crawling through tight brush on deer drives. This worked great for that. I pull the expandable mesh through the scabbard hole and clip it on where it's supposed to go and that adds to the capacity yet keeps it compact.

bought first one.i cut the game bag out for more room ,use that one strictly for white tale hunting. bought 2 more,gave 1 to a friend i hunt with,left the game bag in the other and use that one strictly for game birds. bought another and use that one when i pack with my mule Rosie. I put my axe hand saw extra rope repair items for saddle and so on in there. these packs i would not be without. grap pack of the day and do my thing . I'll buy more.

Upland bird hunting in Wyoming is normally miles per bird, not birds per mile. This pack has carried 3 pheasants easily, as well as a few supplies. I use it instead of a bird hunting vest, and with a belt pouch for shells, it works really well. Zero complaints.

I was looking for a small essentials pack for elk hunting day trips. Just somthing big enough to carry water, kill kit, and an extra layer or rain gear if I have to. This pack looks like it fits the bill perfectly! Small enough you hardly know its on but has plenty of storage, comes w a water bladder and can attach a rifle scabbard. Also, yet to be seen but I do believe with the bird bag I would be able to haul out an elk quarter or loose meat bag. So I don't waste a trip running back to the truck or camp to get my full size meat hauling pack.

Great bag! 100% recommend. Only adjustment that would have been nice is if the small game bag was removable.

Very pleased with this bag. Versatile and comfortable. Gets the job done.

Absolutely love the design, water is the hardest most important thing we must pack here in Az . Thank you for making great reliable gear.

Love this pack! Lots of great pockets for its size.
