I would use the bag for day hiking trips. Would be great to have a waterproof one (and one which does not have a broken zipper, like my daypack sadly does).↵ -
If I win, it’ll come in handy for a trip to Antarctica in 2010.

My daughter needs a replacement backpack for hiking and camping . Appreciate the welded zippers as that is usually the weak point. No big trips this year but she has high hopes to travel next summer.

@jeff markman I would use this bag as a perfect all-purpose carry-all around the globe. No rain, river fording, or tumble into a lake will get me down with such a great water-proof bag!

I’d use the RKV to continue my travels around the world (3.5 years and counting). My old pack gave up the ghost and while I’ve replaced the main pack, I’m still a daypack down.

With an upcoming RTW trip in the planning stages, my wife and I would definitely put this gear to use—right across the globe!

@Kathy_SixEight
My day pack was “adopted” by someone else (without permission), so I really need a new day pack for use when we travel, for bike trips, and for trail hiking (day trips). This one’s got some really fantastic features (like waterproofing), and if I don’t win it, I think I may just go buy one!

With any luck, I’ll be using this sucker in South America 2010! I love my current pack…but as far as water protection goes, it’s as useful as an umbrella during a hurricane.
