Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Index 15 Backpack

Bought this for my wife for Christmas. She loves the color, size, and weight of the backpack. She can pack her lunch and items for work in it, instead of taking her bigger purse each day!

3.5 years later I have come back to write my first review of any product ever. I've taken this bag through rural West Africa, Boundary Waters in Canada, Rocky Mountains, and dunes in Mexico. I've dragged this bag through snow, sand, dirt, rain, mud, rocks, and it remains in perfect shape. I've brought it to three continents and at least a dozen states. After all this, I can say with confidence, this may possibly be one of the top 3 products I have ever owned. Certainly the best quality bag you will find anywhere. Not only its it exceptional for outdoor activities but it makes a great everyday bag. I've used it as a work bag, gym bag, and a practice bag for college sports. You will get every cent out of this bag. Highly recommend.

I bought this pack for a trip and now use it all the time. This is the item I grab for a quick walk to the store for a few items, to take the dog to the dog park, errand trips on my bike, a trip, and for day hikes.

I was amazed at how much I could actually fit into this pack and for such a simplistic piece, how organized it is. Both my husband and I have one and we tossed them into our luggage when we traveled to the UK for hiking. These bags went through so much with us and are just as fabulous as they were on day one! It was comfortable to carry and held absolutely everything we needed for a full day of hiking. I highly recommend getting it.

I personally own 3 of them in different colours for biking / hiking / travel. I use it at least three times a week for at least 2 years now and it can still looks brand new after the wash. It's a very versatile bag, super light weight, and lots of pockets. Love it!! Highly recommended.looking forward to more colours in the future :)

I love this little bag, it's so easy to use and carry with you. I don't recommend it as an everyday bag, especially if you're going to be holding heavy stuff as the straps are not padded. However, I think the intent of this was just for it to be a light weight and packable bag that you can bring with you on your travels. Excellent product!

Awesome little pack! It stuffs down to almost nonexistent in my carryon and is available for all city bound day trips. There's zero padding on the straps which is a bummer but that would add weight and size. I carry a DSLR with lens and a water bottle and typically have space for my rain coat on top. It's definitely bare bones but that's why I love it.

Being a father to 2 toddlers I am always carrying anything and everything from water bottles to snacks and diapers. This bag can fold easily into your glove compartment.

Hey, Great product that is simple and easy. It's pretty water resistant. I really enjoy the exterior handle, and the design allows for a wide mouth opening when searching for items. Nice clutter pocket inside for phone, wallet, and lighter, and a loop for keys. Much better quality to it's competitors. I use it when traveling, a quick bike ride around town, or on the lake.

This thing is like Marry Poppin's magic bag... No matter how much stuff I seem to put in it, there's always room for more. I don't know how it works or what kind of voodoo bloodmagic is being used here, but whatever it is, I like it!

Perfect pack for travel and light hikes. I used this pack everyday on our trip to Europe. It is very light and takes up almost no room in the suitcase. It is very spacious, and I could carry my camera, the whole family's waterbottles, snacks etc while taking tours. Also great for day hikes.

I got this bag for free with another purchase. It's great as a small and light bag for work or for running errands around town. The small size means that you can take it on a plane as your small carry on. The external handles are really nice for carrying and hanging the bag when you are travelling with other bags. The only problem I have with it is that there is no external pocket for a water bottle.

Well made, light weight, and very compact, all with a cool style.

My husband and I love this bag. We only have one and fight over it all the time! Chuck your lunch, a water bottle, a notebook, your Kindle, and your wallet in there and there's still room for your jacket! We've taken it hiking, trotting around town, skiing, and the golf course. I would recommend this bag for anyone who needs a roomy, small, lightweight bag! Guess its time to get a second one...

I threw this pack in my Index 10 + 10 for a recent trip to Hungary. It was perfect for the day trips, hikes, sightseeing, etc we did. The bag holds a great deal of items. And the TARDIS like inside pocket the bag packs into is truly amazing. The only downside are the straps. They could use some padding for when the pack is loaded.

Je l'utilise trs souvent, parfois pour le travail, parfois en voyage ou promenades y compris en ville ou campagne. En rsum, son seul dfaut est ... qu'il est facile de l'oublier tellement on ne le sent pas. Et idem pour ma femme. Volume en dfinitive assez grand, poches bien adaptes, belle qualit, c'est le sac de rve lorsque l'objectif est de transporter peu de poids, jusqu' quelques kg. Dans mon cas remplace des sacoches de ville peu pratiques, des sacs de plage, des sacs dos trop invasifs pour des demi-journes de marche, etc. Gros avantage, peu tre pli dans un autre sac, ou au contraire permettre de charger facilement un bon volume (blouson, achats effectus lors de ballades en ville, etc.)

I purchased the bag second hand for a very good price and it is still performing very well as a daypack. It is light which i appreciate when I dont want to bring my schoolbag around town. I can store what I need. I haven't actually used this as an ascent pack so I can't comment on that, nor have I used this bag in rain so I don't know just how much rain it can withstand.
