Whoever designed this pack deserves a hug

Rating:*****

This pack is superb. It has tons of room for everything (it can easily fit a rope bag, helmet, rack, food, elephant, etc.) and the quality, as expected, is top notch. The best features by far, however, are the ability to open up the pack completely (the open access to everything inside is a huge bonus: so easy- plus, you can access the main compartment through a zipper in the front pocket) and, in that condition, use it as a camp chair. It's not quite as sturdy in that role as a Crazy Creek, but the fact you can do it at all with a pack is amazing. The side zips are large, chunky beasts that I can see lasting a very long time even with a lot of use. They don't have the water tight feature of many Arc'teryx products, but I think that's a benefit with the kind of use this pack will most likely be receiving. The roll top closure is solid and really easy (just a one fold motion and then you tighten down the side straps). It allows you to jam the pack almost completely full and still close it. This is a very comfortable, versatile, and tough bag... if you're strongly considering it, just go for it. You'll love it!

They need to show a picture of this thing OPEN

Rating:*****

I don't think you realize how easy it is to get to your gear with this pack. There's two huge BOMBER zippers running down the side of the whole pack, and you can just take the pack off, stand it up (it'll balance standing up!), and pull down both zippers and there's your whole rack, ready to use! Nothing has easier access.

Only qualm, the fit in the bottom is a bit tight for the Pali Rope bag, but I guess that's Arc'teryx and its tight tolerances for you.

Oh, and like everything else Arc'teryx, build, quality, materials, fit, and suspension have no problems.

"get it if you're a cragger or just like nice things."

Rating:****
This pack wears like a feather woven bridal gown, but holds up like a solid steel chastity belt. Truly a great pack. The size works well for a day of cragging, but is so comfortable it works for riding around town also. The external straps haven't been very useful though, nice they come off so easily. The internal zipper access to the front crap pocket is handy, and the gear loops inside tickle me various shades of turquoise. Thanks Moosejaw for offering such a kick butt product and for the rapid shipping with the personal touch. You'z guys are da shizz double nit nat.

Best for cragging

Rating:*****
This is a bag best reserved for cragging; it's too heavy to haul into the mountains for any real distance. But it wasn't designed for the long haul. It's a tough, ingeniously designed, short haul climbing bag. Holds rope, gear, water, lunch, helmet and more and carries it all as comfortably as you can imagine. Top loader, but side zips open the whole for easy access to everything. Roll top keeps the stuff dry. Good outside pockets for little things. A really superb bag.

"Love the full zipper"

Rating:****
The arch of the back aligns well with my own back, the hip belt is surprisingly confortable. I think the shoulder straps are a bit on the stiff side as compared to the needle/bora and I'm hoping that breaks in over time getting some rub on the collar bones. The greatest feature is the full open zipper which makes this bag double as a great travel bag. With all the extra padding, it does make the bag feel a bit warmer when wearing.

The BEST, Jerry!

Rating:*****

If you're a trad climber, you'll love this thing! The Miura stands alone when it comes to cragging packs, hands down. The benefits of the rolltop paired with the full-length side zippers can't be overstated! The first time you reach for your massive tangled rack, rope, shoes, and food after shoving them all in this thing you'll wonder how you lived without it. Utterly simple, bomber, BADASS pack. Buy it!

Finally, I can carry everything!

Rating:*****

This is hands down the best pack I have ever owned in 10 years of climbing. The dry bag style roll top is soo great. It even opens up clam style to grab something you know is in the bottom. It carries all my climbing gear easily. The harness and weight distribution cannot be beat. I am a shorter woman, and bought the short size, and it fits great!

Really Good All Around Pack

Rating:*****
Climbing backpacks from Arc'teryx have proven themselves to be the best around. I've tried numerous other brands over the years including osprey, north face, mountain hardwear, and black diamond, but after 100s of man hours out in the field, I find myself reaching for the Miura in my weekend adventures. It has all the whistles and bells and will work well for all of your backpacking travel needs.

"Awesome pack. Highly recommended."

Rating:*****
Awesome pack. The design is nearly flawless for single day climbing trips. I can easily fit in and easily access my climbing rope, harness, 16 draws and 100 oz. camel back in the main compartment. The front pouch will easily hold a guidebook and long sleeve shirt for warmth. The removeable straps are easily moved to the top of the pack to hold more gear or a coat.
Doug at Moosejaw on 04/24/2008

What took me so long?

Rating:*****
Bought this pack based on user reviews from various online stores. What a great pack. The fit is like a glove, and the ease of loading as well as the ease of opening up the pack is second to none.
If I would have known I would be so impressed, I would have bought it sooner!
It is durable and extremely functional.
