| This is a comfortable and well-made pack. Even though it is large (5000 cubic inches) it really doesn't feel that big. Perhaps that's because the design keeps it from heating up your back, or because once you put your do-dads in the two side and one front pocket, there's less room in the bag itself. There are two covers (one fixed and a detachable one that goes over it). The hipbelt is wide and comfortable, and has two small pockets for chapstick, etc. Like any pack, it takes some adjustments to get a good fit. The lash tabs and ice axe loops are useful. Probably the one drawback is that there aren't straps under the bottom of the pack, so lashing a tent on the bottom is not an option (but with 5000 cubic inches, who would need to?). | |

| This is an extremely comfortable pack with many ways to adjust it so that it fits perfectly on your body. I don't get the achy shoulders, achy back and/or achy hips. In addition it has good airflow so your back can breath and is not sweaty. I have used this pack in 15 degree weather mountaineering/snowshoeing this past winter as well as 95 degree weather hiking this summer. However, the only con about this pack would the big open hole at the bottom of the pack where the external frame bulges to let air come up in order to cool your back. The problem occurs when glissading with this pack and you end up with 10-15lbs of snow/ice shoved up into the hole/mesh against your back. Then after your glissade you have to stick the ice axe spike into the hole, swirl it around in order to dig out all the snow and ice out otherwise you're carrying 10-15lbs of snow/ice. | |
