The only complaint I have is that the description stated it had a removable lumbar day pack. The brain of the pack does come off, but there is no straps that I could find that could be used for turning the brain into a day pack. After looking at the mountain Smith website, I realized it does not list this as a feature of the 60l apex series pack. I was able to purchase the pack brand new for $125....steal of the century! Worth every penny of the 200 dollar list price. I would highly recommend this pack, buy it.... You won't regret it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It looks like a Osprey *by P***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2017* This is the most expensive backpack I have ever bought. It looks like a Osprey, but half the price. It is made of high quality fabric and very sturdy. The space is pretty appropriate for my 3 day hikes in Grand Canyon. Enough for food, clothes, tents, and sleeping bags. Water bottle can be reached easily, but it falls out sometimes even though the fixation strap is fastened. I love the backflip zipper pocket design a lot, it enables me to reach items at the bottom of the bag easily. I use the side pocket with elastic mesh to put my gopro so I can grab it easily. Most importantly, it has very good padding at the back and waist, and the ventilation is good. 5 stars ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I ultimately when with this option as the price was very good at $137 and I had great experiences with the ... *by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2017* I am just getting back into backpacking. I had not been in nearly 20 years, since I was in boy scout, when bags used to measured in cubic inches!Mountainsmith was a big brand back then, so when I was looking to buy a new bag, they were one of the first brands I looked at. Although Osprey now seems to be king now. Naturally, I was debating between a 65L Osprey and this 60L. I was worried I might need the extra 5L given the size of my old school tent, sleeping bag/pad.I ultimately when with this option as the price was very good at $137 and I had great experiences with the brand 20 years ago! I also watched a few YouTube videos and seemed like it had everything I was looking for in a bag.I bought this bag to do a 14 mile two night hike. I brought a moderate amount of food, cloths, and gear and still had what I would say was plenty of extra room for more cloths and food. Even with my old, larger, and heavier gear I was able to fit everything with ease into this bag (including my full 3L Camelbak).The bag held up very well and after some adjustments, it was very comfortable, and exceeded my expectations. The material is high quality and very durable with lots of straps and cinches to tighten down your gear. None felt flimsy or cheap. In the end my only grip with this bag was that one of the what I would call water bottle pockets was not as easy to get my nalgene into, pretty minor.Love the bag, and I now have the matching color Mountainsmith Clear Creek 18L! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/69948994-mountainsmith-apex-60-backpack](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/69948994-mountainsmith-apex-60-backpack) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
