Features
Pros
- ✓Two soft flasks are included, which most fastpacks sell separately.
- ✓20.6 oz for 26 L total, light for a pack with a foam back panel.
- ✓Challenge UltraStretch pockets use a UHMWPE blend that resists snagging better than plain stretch mesh.
- ✓Internal hydration sleeve and hose port for bladder users.
- ✓One price across all three sizes.
Cons
- ✗No hipbelt at all, so the full load rides on the vest straps.
- ✗20 lb ceiling rules it out for anything but a very light kit.
- ✗The large adds 1 oz and 5 L, but S and M share the smaller body.
- ✗No bear-canister room at this volume.
- ✗Robic main body is not waterproof, unlike the laminate fastpacks in this class.
