Summary:
This was my first ever backpack. It served me well for several years on expeditions that ranged in length from weekends to two weeks. I am about to replace it with a larger internal frame pack only because i need more space for solo adventures and the aluminum rods that the straps are attached to have begun to bend. great pack overall, lightweight for and external too.

Summary:
A great pack for its small size.
Rugged and sturdy. Easy to adjust and comfortable.
(Even at my size of 6'4"" @260 lbs.)
Very dependable and a great buy.
The only defect I found was the stitching in the hip belt.
Poor quality, I was constantly ripping out stitches along the straps that connect the belt to the frame. Replacing the belt with an aftermaket belt fixed the problem.
