Now that I have used the Shasta a couple of months I’ve learned a little more about how to use it. For instance, I questioned if it should be worn to the front or back. But after several hikes with it worn both ways, I now have a distinct preference to wear it in the back. However, getting stuff out while walking along could not be any easier. I quickly flip it towards the front and all the zippers on the bag are looking up at me and I can easily unzip one and reach whatever I need to get out of the bag. My camera is usually what I’m after but I’ve also needed to get to my phone quickly several times. And the one zipper-less pouch where I keep my water bottle is parallel when I slide the pack around towards the front but getting my water out is easy. In fact, everything about using the bag has led to it becoming my favorite day hiking bag.
