A truly excellent product | |

This is easily one of the best purchases I have ever made. I have had an Osprey Finesse Carbon Ripstop (very similar to the Argon but older and slightly smaller) for about 12 years (!) now. During this time, it has been manhandled by angry baggage handlers from Bangkok to Munich, climbed a total of 6 14ers in Colorado, been hucked around on my back on snowboard trips (while riding mind you), saved me from a tree well in Purgatory Durango I once fell into, carried my laundry up and down a mountain on my mountain bike when I didn't have a car, gone skateboarding through Tokyo, on business trips galore holding everything from suits to really heavy marketing material. Back in college it even carried a puppy for a day when I didn't want to live it alone and hid him inside the pack with some doggie food and my books. | |

Righteous Pack! | |
| Rating: | |
I just got back from a seven day trip in the Bob Marshall wilderness in NW Montana. I started with a 55 lb load and was TOTALLY IMPRESSED by this pack's performance. The suspension on the Argon has a level of adjustability that eliminated my usual pressure points. After a day of dialing it in, it became an extension of my body: very helpful when walking narrow game trails on scree fields. I also noted that there was no "internal frame sag syndrome" regardless of the terrain. As a professional guide I carried a number of internal frame packs, but nothing on the market IMHO can tough the Argon. My only wish? Just one more external pocket! | |

Sweet Pack | |

It took me a full day on the trail with a 60lb load to get it adjusted correctly but after much trial and error I've got it dialed! I went to a brick and morter retailer who didn't carry this pack but the next size up, I think it was 85l. The suspension is the same on both packs so I was able to get fitted before ordering from backcountry.com. I've only done 2 3-day trips since purchasing this pack but I'm very pleased. The option to remove the top of the pack and use it as a fanny pack (I hate fanny packs) turned out to be very convenient for some side-trip scrambling near camp. Ditto with the hydration pack. The pockets are convenient and the whole thing very well made. I would buy this pack again, for sure. | |

The suspension is pretty awesome. It's a very comfortable pack for trips where I'm hauling more than I need to. I haven't tried using the top as a lumbar pack, but I have pulled out the bladder sleeve to use as a basic hydration pack for side hikes. Good design, works well. Lots of access to the main compartment, and it has just enough pockets. Not too many so you rummage all over, but enough that you can compartmentalize efficiently. | |

Wow, I love this pack! | |
| Rating: | |
I love this pack. I was looking for the best pack I could get for extended trips, and this is it. This feature rich pack has everything one needs in a pack (minus an included rain cover). The pack is somewhat comfortable at first, but after a bit of time with it on it really molds to your back. I do not regret this purchase one bit. I got the Kemp colour and I absolutely love it. Way better then the mustard, that's for sure.bottom line, fully recommended, without a doubt a great purchase. | |

The suspension is like a dream, but lets be real 50+ pounds can't ever feal good. This pack will handle that load and you won't be in pain. It has great features like the detachable hydration sleeve and lid pocket/lumbar pack. I can tell you that this pack is well made, has total adjustability with torso length and different sized hip belts, a clever versatile design with usefull features, and the suspension for expedition sized loads. You can't ask for much more. | |

This pack is amazing! I have only taken it out a few times with loads in the 40-55 lb range and it hardly felt like I had any weight in my pack. The way the suspension system works is truly incredible. The usual pressure points that bugged after a few hours of hiking with heavy loads are non-existent! Don't wait, buy this pack today and you will never regret it!!! | |

GREAT BACKPACK | |
| Rating: | |
| This is a great product, it has the molded waste belt which is amazing and the side entry for the man pocket is just amazing. If i go on a multi day hike and set a base camp i can easily make day pack. The hydration you can put on your back and the top turns into a fanny pack. I love it! | |

"Very happy with my purchase!" | |
| Rating: | |
| Great pack! I know it is a little heavier than the other Osprey packs, but it is very comfortable, which makes up for the extra weight. I just bought it a couple of weeks ago and used it in the panhandle of Florida for a three day hike/camp. No complaints. | |
