Can’t recommend this pack enough. In my opinion every pack has felt/been the same for years with few real changes made. Kinetic are the first ones in years to really innovate and reinvent the pod pack, specifically the waistband. It stays tight to the body and is a rigid pack while still being extremely comfortable and easy to move around in. As a front player I am not loading up my back with pods, but I still feel the significant difference in pack sag and bouncing while running. I debated getting the pack but just wanted a fan of the all-black and plain one, so when I saw the Kinetic x Hydra designed pack, it was a no-brainer. Looks amazing and performs even better! 10/10
