I carried this pack for two years between 5 continents, 18 countries. It hasn't failed me yet. Now that I'm back stateside, I'm still using it for hiking trips. Great pack.

Great pack for my money. no problems and it can carry the gear for a week long trip.

I have taken this pack on several trips, including a 2 nighter in Algonquin. I hauled around 25 pounds in this pack, and it held up great. Although this was my first backpacking trip, I found the pack to be quite comfortable. At times I required adjustmens (most likly due to my "newness" to backpacking) but I found pack strap changes to be quick and painless. As mentioned, a few external pockets would be nice, but that is only a minor qualm. You will not be dissapointed with this bag.

excellent pack for the money. very well made, no faults thus far. lack of external pockets makes for easier x-country travel.

I just purchaged this backpack a few months ago, it can hold a lot of gear. The top of the bag can be used as a day pack, the only problem I can see with it, is that it could use more external pockets.

great backpack,i took it on a rainy 3 day trip and nothing inside ever got wet, the detachable top lid turns into a fanny pack witch is very handy. the only thing i can see lacking is a place to put water bottles, a hydration systen would be a nice touch. other than that it is a super pack, excelent suspention system, lots of room, streamline,good quality,a superior pack for the $$$.

The price/quality of this pack is unbelievable. It also in 3 sizes if the multiple adjustment are not enough for your body type. Has only one pocket though.
