It's wonderful to hear that you found the 1733 Side Pack X-Pac 7L to be an excellent choice with impressive construction. The fact that it's not bulky and surpasses expectations in terms of aesthetics, even with a slightly darker color than the photo, adds to its appeal. It's always a pleasant surprise when a product not only lives up to its description but also exceeds expectations in terms of functionality and visual appeal. Enjoy your stylish and well-constructed 1733 Side Pack:) -John
