Very nice for the price | |

I've had mine several seasons now, enough time to put it through the whole rigmarole. If you're gonna have one pack, let this be it. The pack bag is large and the support good, I wouldn't hesitate to use it for at least a week and I've loaded it with around 60 pounds of camera equipment and other gear. Not exactly comfortable at that weight, but not bad either. Even with the great capacity, it compresses down quite well for shorter trips, even overnights. The included day pack is excellent, I love being able to throw a few things in there and escape camp for a day hike, it really fits alot, more than just the essentials. The price is really good, so you do have to pay in a few other areas. Water bottle pockets are ridiculously tiny, almost worthless. I'm also a bit worried about the durability. Nothing on this pack looks made for years of abuse, but we'll see. Five stars for the price, not considering that I would give it three and a half or four. | |

| If it wasn't just a tad large for me, I prolly would give it 5. I waited to write this review after my 5-day...it was 11 mi. in, past timb. in the Rockies. Pros Sep. comparts Top AND front loader Comfy, adjustable Recycled Many ways to hang xtra gear Day pack that adds space Light for big size Cons Adjust slips on long steeps Could use quick-access pockets Great for med to lg torso, but big for sm med More bulk on shoulder straps The price is great, it's light, has great room w/out bulk. It is great for short/med trips up to 10 days. I loaded it to 55 lbs, it did fine on the up slope, but slipped on the down. Awesome day pack! It's great dbl pack, happy purchase! | |

i just spent 5 days in glacier national park with this mofo and it got me through some long, cold, damp and drizzly situations. everything stayed pretty dry. it is nice and easy to get on and off. it fit my torso pretty well, and it carried everything i needed with relative ease. the only complaints are that there could be a bit more pockets, my water bottles seemed to pop out whenever i bent over ( and the whole dern trail was infested with huckleberries, so we were doing alot of bending over) and it wasn't as brightly colored as i thought it would be. but all in all this bag was my buddy. | |

"Great all around bag for the price...." | |

| I love this pack. I just got back from a 3 week trip from Frankfurt to Rome, and it worked perfectly. The little detachable day pack is exactly what I was looking for. It was small but not too small, had a sleeve and loop on the arm strap to accommodate a 3 liter Camelback system filled a little less then full, and had outside bungees that turned out to be great for holding a sweater and/or poncho with out taking up any space inside of the pack.... Also the zipper that opens up the bag flat was the other great feature that makes this bag stand out for the price.... No Complaints | |

Great Price | |

This pack is pretty good. I am a little disappointed by the suspension system, it doesn't allow for much adjustment of the load at the top of the shoulders. At six feet tall, the pack barely fits my frame. | |

This is my first bag! I have used it quite a bit since I got it. This bag is rugged, and has everything you need in a bag at a wonderful price. Very comfortable once you get everything adjusted. As far as it being heavy I have never had another bag so it doesn't bother me a bit! | |

This pack is really great for the price. I'm 5'10, 155 pounds and it fits perfect once you take the time and adjust all the straps correctly. The hip belt is probably the best reason why is feels really snug and secure. The shoulder straps could be a little more comfortable. | |

| This is a great pack at a nice price. I have used this pack for mostly 3 day trips and have never run out of space. I really enjoy the detachable day pack and it looks cool too! | |

Would be a good pack for taller torso | |
| Rating: |  |
I returned this pack b/c I'm 5'9", 160 lb and my torso is 16.5 - 17" and I couldn't get the pack adjusted small enough (too much space b/t the shoulder straps and my shoulders even though I adjusted the torso as small as it would go). I did like the pack though and it wasn't too heavy, even I wish it had a more traditional opening to the sleeping bag compartment. I liked the slanted mesh pockets on the side for a water bottle, although my Nalgene bottle seemed like it could pop out fairly easily. | |
