Great, but not perfect

Rating:****
Very solid climbing-specific pack. It's a versatile bag that's good for everything from the climbing gym, to sport climbing, to a day of climbing involving a moderate-to-long approach. Very comfortable and has many of the bells and whistles that I wanted in a crag pack (zippered side entrances, internal gear loops, etc.). A few small features missing that you typically get with packs - a small daisy chain on the outside in case you do need to clip something to it, a small mesh pocket on the sides of the pack near the bottom to hold trash, and most importantly a water bladder compartment (the pack is designed to work with a bladder, just no compartment tailored to hold the bladder).

Note: if you are going to do a lot of back country climbs or carry a bunch of trad gear, consider the larger sizes of this model.

Great pack for technical or travel

Rating:*****
* Great technical pack, as alwasy from Arc'Teryx
* Roll-top closure and dual side zippers are great. You can access your gear in a unique and very effective way.
* Just the right size to fit in an overhead bin, so you could carry-on (I have the 30L) for travel

** Not perfect as your only backpacking resource, but it's darn near perfect for climbing, short treks, and travel.

"Great pack!"

Rating:*****
I use this pack for climbing. I’m about 6 foot and picked up the 30 pack tall, which is about a 35L. it’s great, fits all my gear, very comfortable and adjustable. Arcteryx makes a kangaroo pouch that can hook to the front as well. The only down side is it’s not waterproof, you have to use the Arcteryx rain cover.

I like it.

Rating:****
I like it so far, I have taken it on two multi pitch climbs and it is doing OK. It could use some gear loops, a hydro compartment on one side or the other and it would be nice if I could strap the front to the back so I could carry more rope.
Joel Adams at Altrec on 03/10/2008

"Look out for your straps"

Rating:****
Great resistant bag with good ergonomic. The straps can fall of though - lost it in translation. Cons weight and price. Pro materials (as allways with arcteryx), colours and "volume efficient".
Tobias at Moosejaw on 12/03/2008

GREAT!

Rating:*****
I'm a huge Arcteryx fan - I have jackets, clothes.I've never been disappointed.The hip belt is comfortable and the adjust ability of the straps etc... is great.

Negative Reviews:

almost great

Rating:**
Need a working pack to hump tools, water, food and some climb gear. This one keeps the hard gear from digging in to the back. Like the way the main compartment is suited to climbing but had trouble with hauling the bag until I removed the hip belt(contoured). Then I had trouble with the load swinging around. Some compression straps, hydration (bottle outside or bag inside) and maybe some daisy chains would help. I'm 6'0 and the length (size L) was conflicting with my harness and my lid.

A bit disappointing

Rating:***

I'm a huge Arcteryx fan - I have jackets, clothes, packs from them and until now, I've never been disappointed. On the good side, this pack is well made and is likely to last a long time. The hip belt is comfortable and the adjustability of the straps etc... is great. The buckles, stitching are all top rate.

But there are a couple problems. First, when you roll up and then fold down the top of the bag (which makes it pretty weather-resistant - nice!), the straps holding each side down don't pull the folds forward enough, so when you walk with the pack on, it rubs your shoulder/back of your arms. That's not a good design for long walks.

Also, the bottom half of the pack's large storage pocket is strangely small, as if the material is cut narrower there. It means you have to think hard about how you plan to pack. It just seems to be smaller than I expected it to be.

I have the green one and I really like the color - not as loud/neon as it looks in the pictures.
