Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Index 15 Backpack

Very happy with this purchase, and a great value! I actually used this as a cycling backpack for a 100 mile ride on the Silver Comet and Chief Ladiga trails in Georgia-Alabama. So lightweight and effortless to carry. The shoulder straps have a very smart cutout to fit your armpit perfectly. And the bag's construction--while relatively "simple"--works great. Wished it had an across-the-chest clip, but the bag stayed put without any hassle.

We use this backpack everyday during our holidays and we love it. It's bigger than expected, very light, compact and easy storable/foldable. Good value for price. Highly recommended.

This daypack was awesome. I used it everyday when I went to Japan. It still looks brand new even though I was so rough with it. It packs a lot more than I expected it to and it was super light to pack away when I was using my actual backpack.

Overall great bag! I love how small it packs, took it on a hike already and the straps were suprisingly more comfortable than expected. It carries a ton of stuff and sits really nicely on the back. I only wish it had a chest strap although I am aware it isn't considered a technical backpack.

This little backpack is great. I use it during day hikes, while skiing, and on short trips. There is no extra material inside the bag, so you can utilize 100% of the space, which is great. Overall, a great small bag!

I was looking for a day back to bring on 5+ day backpacking trips, and I think this is it. Lightweight and easily crushable, this bag has plenty of space for snacks & water for a day-long jaunt in the middle of a longer trek.

I like this bag a lot and it has been on several international and domestic trips with me. From the gym, to the beach and mountains, it has held up very well. This bag is not made to withstand harsh elements and rough use, it is a comfortable and stylish day bag to carry some light gear, change of clothes, apparel and the essentials.

surprisingly comfortable pack that packs down super small and has a good amount of compartmentalization. very practical purchase!

This bag is perfect for my bouldering needs. I can fit 2 pairs of climbing shoes, a chalk bag and my clothes with some room to spare.

Awesome light weight travel backpack! Use it almost everyday.

Love this backpack. Love this brand! Superior quality, lightweight, gorgeous Madras colour! Great pockets. Will use this daily!

I have looked for the perfect carry pack for a long time when traveling or away from home for a day. There is a certain size that it needs to be or expand where you can carry a bottle of water or a bottle of wine, a sandwich or other snack, a guidebook and a map or two, a sweater or light wind breaker, and purchased item or two. Anything bigger than this makes you look like you don't have a home, and anything smaller is a waste of time as you will need to haul a shopping bag with you. You don't want it so light that everything winds up in the bottom with the pack looking like a big tear drop on your shoulder, but you want to blend in when it is not full so it can be taken anywhere. Being lightweight means it can be folded and put into a larger carryon pack while in route. This pack is one of those perfect things.

Incredible backpack, really useful as a piece of hand-luggage. Fits my 13" Macbook Pro perfectly, with plenty of space leftover. Feels very durable, you can really throw it about and feel confident that it isn't going to cause any damage to the bag. Was a little reserved about the look of the straps, but actually very comfortable.

I use this pack mainly as a 'tour' pack when travelling. Dropping off my Khard 45 backpack at the hotel after the duties of the day, I use the Index 15 to bring along cold weather jacket or shell etc. when going sightseeing and dining in the evening. Also suitable for limited shopping trips to carry groceries. Easy to clean afterwards, as I experienced having a 'flour bag' accident :-) Just hose down, wipe and dry. Front zipper pocket holds a 9.7" iPad including type cover with room to spare.

This pack is a great lightweight minimal piece. I use it for traveling. Its soft so I am able to stuff it into my other luggage and pull it out when needed. Toured around Central America with it and was my go to bike ride, beach, beer store pack. No frills here. Just simple and functional

This daypack is "very" lightweight and very spacious for a small bag. I love that it has a lot of pockets!! the bag maintains its shape with or without stuff in it. I also love that it has 2 grab handles.

Sac conforme la description. Lger, bien organis avec poches intrieures. J'aime sa sobrit. Envoi rapide (commande le mercredi reu le vendredi). Site srieux, rponse rapide par mail si contact avec conseiller

Lunch, umbrella, cell phone, iPad, and a little case full of computer cables and dongles. Zipper pocket for notepad, pens, and train ticket. Keys clipped in so I don't lose them. Carries what you need for your day quietly and lightly. This is a great little daypack.

Recently used this bag on walks, hikes and skiing in Whistler. I found it well suited as an all purpose day bag. The pack itself is lightweight and rugged. While not waterproof, it shed moderate rain and snow with ease and kept my belongings dry. The back is not padded but with proper packing within, I found it extremely comfortable to wear through the day and did not feel the need for a waist belt (unless you overload it). I found the central compartment to be quite generous and the secondary compartment to be large enough to store a second layer or bulkier miscellaneous items. There is a security pocket in the central compartment that holds most personal items but would have liked another pocket to improve organization. However, for its size, it is quite versatile already so this is a very minor gripe. Even at full capacity, this backpack kept a very low profile and held firmly in place despite a lot of movement. Now that I have put it through its paces on the mountain, I am planning to use it as a daily commuting bag and I am confident it will be more than qualified for the task. For packing reference, I was able to fit in: 4-pack of granola bars, a water bottle, gloves, first aid kit, soft shell jacket, fleece jacket, hard shell jacket, sunscreen, sunglasses, wallet, keys, and phone comfortably.

Huge fan of this bag - I bought it for use as a small gym bag that I can take along to work after the gym. I commute on public transit, so heavy and bulky bags weren't an option. This bag is perfect! It's super light, has two big compartments, one lining for either a laptop or (in my case) sweaty clothes, and one small pocket for valuables at the top. It's small enough that it doesn't get in the way on a packed subway train, but big enough to hold either my full work outfit including shoes, or my workout clothes for the day including my bulky Lulu scuba sweater. It rocks. HIGHLY recommend this to anyone looking for a portable light pack.

Took this little bomb-proof bag on a 5 hour test run to a sand dune in Interior BC today. Loved it. I was wondering how comfortable the straps would be as they look like seatbelt material to me? Totally fine, never thought about them. Maybe if one is wearing a tank top they might chafe a little, not sure? Anyhow, I was able to stuff a 750 ml water bottle, a bag of almonds, a bag of blueberry chocolates, a down jacket, a down vest, my husband's snack sack, keys, & phone comfortably into this sac. It sat on cactus, got sand-blasted by wind above a huge sand dune and then trucked out to civilization in a cattle-hauling truck, all in a day's jaunt! A tad excited about this bag... I just ordered two more for friends that travel/hike :) Simple design, lightweight,& tough. Nice interior zip pocket too. Oh yeah, and nice colour selection thanks. I bought the green one.

I'm a petite woman and the straps on this pack are too far apart for my back so the pack falls off my shoulders. Otherwise the quality is great.
