Great for hiking and cycling
I initially bought the women's Large instead of the men's Medium because of available colors, and they looked equivalent. At 5' 10" I was right on the upper end of that size, but it still worked great for a year of hard use. It's my primary mountain biking pack, and I also use it for Fall/Winter/Spring day hikes where I want extra layers. The straps are a really nice shape and I use the left strap pocket for my iPhone 15 pro. I have also used it with an iPhone 11 (slightly bigger), though that's a bit of a squeeze with a phone case. Neither phone has ever given any hint of coming out in even the gnarliest falls. I use the zippered right strap pocket for carrying my readers, so I can see menus when stopping at rifugios mid day in the Dolomites. The waist belt is one of the only ones I've seen that actually goes around enough to function as advertised. It wraps around my hips and distributes pressure for carrying loads. Combined, the hip belt and shoulder straps hold the pack very quietly when downhill/enduro mountain biking or trail running/scrambling. I use an Osprey hydration bladder, and it sits perfectly and doesn't move around. At first, I would tuck the hose into the small outer pocket on the right shoulder strap (outside of the zipper pocket), but eventually I sewed a magnet into the strap and the one on the bladder hose mates with it. I just recently bought the men's Large because it turns out you kind of need a larger pack for cycling, since your back is curved and your arms are stretched out.

Day trippin
I’m 6’4” ~250 and the L fit great , no pressure on the shoulders… I don’t use a water res but Fiji bpa free bottles and they fit nicely on the sides. Unfortunately black diamonds warranty isn’t as good as Osprey.

Perfect size for a light
Perfect size for a light and fast day pack. Also can double as a running pack.

Awesome pack
This is one of the best packs I have ever owned. You can tell that every detail was thoroughly thought out. The vest straps combined with the plush hipbelt means that this pack hugs your body like a glove. It’s super comfortable.

good
Compared to Distance, this backpack's material might not be as tough as Dynex, but it offers a much better carrying system, staying stable even when you're running.

Best Daypack
It is really functional for daily hiking. It can carry what you need during one days trip. And it can fit your back so well that you even ignore the backpack.

Great bag
I'm very picky about backpacks and I've bought and sold a lot. This is one of my favorites for scrabbles and light fast adventures. I should have bought the long version, but even so this is a very comfortable bag. I'll defiantly buy the new season model in large back length Great layout and holds its shape very well. Good pocket layout. My only complaint is that the straps to sinch down the bag run on the inside of the main compartment and catch items as you put them in and out, isn't a huge concern but is annoying.

Very well made bag.
This backpack has quickly become my go-to for outdoor adventures! It’s lightweight, comfortable, and the perfect size for day trips. The design is sleek yet durable, with plenty of compartments to keep everything organized. I especially appreciate the hydration sleeve and the easy access pockets. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a versatile, reliable backpack!

This might just be the unicorn backpack
To say I have a backpack for any circumstance is an understatement. I have way TOO many backpacks, and I love having just the pack for my needs. The Pursuit 15 hits an excellent sweet spot for so many different activities. Great day pack for quick hikes, bikes, climbs, etc. Very well thought out design and amazingly comfortable with the wide vest straps. Not many flaws I can pick on, my only wish is that the side pockets could accommodate water bottles easier, but given the ample room for a hydration pack, it easily makes up for it. Homerun from Black Diamond, I won't even bother with other packs at this point! P.S. sign me up to be a gear tester Black Diamond!
