decent towel, works great to dry you off! I am afraid to wring it out because i feel it might mess with the integrity of the towel, but all in all it does exactly what i hoped for. quick drying light weight and portable.

Just buy it. Its warm. Its comfortable. Its worth it.

GREAT pack. Will suit all your needs if you don't want to take the kitchen sink. Sizing can be a little finicky at first, but once you get it right, you are set to carry your most comfortable outdoors investment. The nylon fabric on the bottom clings to hairs like a magnet, but it is built tough. I have faith in all its workmanship

The 65 + 10 Liter bag is more noticeable when traveling in cities... looking at it's dimensions, it is not so much due to size as it is due to the color. I wish this pack had the front pocket like the larger models.

BTW the description is WRONG. The deal was made sweeter with a LIFETIME WARRANTY, RAIN COVER BUILT IN. There is NO front pocket.

4 stars because i want another compression strap and a front pocket

These things are tough... if they rip at the daisy chain or pull cord, you know right where to sent them for a replacement (lifetime manufacturers warranty). Great construction and great warranty make this bag the perfect choice.

I have never been a fan of polarization because it created a weird "film" on objects, and tilting your head changes what you see through the lenses, but Smith's polarization does not seem too extreme. A pair of polarized Oakley lenses I had before hand messed with the optical quality.

As for the fit, they are perfect around the lenses, but the TEMPLES ARE TOO LONG! I need about a 120-127 temple, these are 136. That's the downside to buying smith, the color options and sizing is not very customizable. Many of the other models don't have the same style/fit as these with smaller arms. Molding the arms only voids the warranty too.

The optical quality is tops, as is expected from their premier "techlite" glass. Almost bought a pair of Revo's Thrive, but I didn't like the color/lens combinations (even worse selection).

Optical Quality - A
Fit - B (temples are way too long)
Style - A

edit*the optical distortion truly is minimal. i went back to the store to try on a pair of revos to compare. my eyes are really sensitive to such things and i have to say, smith glass beats the pants off of revo glass in terms of 1:1 vision.
