My favorite thing about this bag is that it's a hiking bag that doesn't look like one, especially with the hip belt and trekking pole bungies removed. It can blend in the city as a traveling day pack, or I can add the hip belt back on if I want to check out a trail during my trip. I do wish they'd added some kind of admin panel though.
Beast18 is my dedicated snowboarding and cross country skiing backpack. It's worked great I bought it about a year and a half ago. It's held up fantastic, in the year and a half that I have had it. It will get a lot more use in the future and I do mean a lot. 2 thumbs up, from me.
Having just purchased the Beast 18, the hydration bladder compartment expands to fit either a MacBook Pro 13" or a MacBook Air 13" quite nicely. It does not look like anything larger than these will fit though.
Im looking for a day bag that I can use when backpacking. But, I need to be able to load my camera gear inside and put my nalgene water bottle on the size, and a tripod on the outside... Its not the lightest, but not heavy. Wondering how it'll hold.

would it fit a mbp with a sleeve?
@@CarlosGonzalezNazar Only if the sleeve is thin. I have neoprene sleeve for my MBP 13", it fits but it's a bit of a squeeze
The new Beast28 can fit a 13inch laptop in its hydration sleeve!
"not the quickest of grabs" haha love it, thanks for the review
Top review thanks! Absolutely love the look of this pack, my fave having checked out all the top 10ers.
Thanks for watching! 😃

Will a 32 oz Nalgene bottle fit in the side pockets?
After further testing it does fit a 32 oz Takeya Bottle
Can you review the Evergoods MPL22?
does 15.6 inch laptop fit?? thanks
Those loops are not meant to hold trekking poles... They are for ice tools
It's for any tool, including trekking poles.
