Love the pack. Perfect number of pockets, well placed. Easy access and closures. Very versatile. Well constructed, looks like it can take a beating and still retains lightweight materials. Perfect balance of lightweight design/tough materials.

I love this pack! So light, comfortable and easy to adjust. I like the rear zipper you can access things near the bottom.

As a 6'3 guy that wears a 40-42 waist pants, this pack has great sizing, especially for the hips, one of the best backpacks so far I've tried. It is great having all the outside compartments for daytime needs, not having a brain is fine but I really miss having a sleeping bag stowaway underneath. Again I'm 6'3 with a long back so this is something I can accommodate that many shorter folks may not like. Overall, super high quality, well thoughtout abilities to compress it down once loaded. If you plan appropriately, night only items first in, evening items, food last and then snacks on outside, layers, water, poop tools all on the outside, you'll love how this is organizable. NOTE for PHOTO very easy access thru the back panel, lens on the bottom will sit low back appropriately and the adjustable straps and hip straps make this a dream to carry the heavy weight of our camera equipment.

This pack is a great alternative to my 75L beast that I use for multi day trips with the family. The Prospector 50 pack is nice and light, but unexpectedly spacious and efficient, easily carrying all my gear for weekend outings. I'm glad I made this purchase.

I have traditional packs and have always been weary of going UL with packs. This is a good compromise between features and weight. Build quality is exceptional.

I really like this as a summertime backpacking bag. When I don't need my warmer sleeping bag and just going for a couple nights it's just the right size. Only change is I wish there was an additional outside pocket but there's one of the trade off for a lighter weight pack.

I used this backpack on a one week trip. The pack carried well. I will be using this pack mostly as a daypack. I'm a big guy at 6'2" 225. The fit was pretty close to perfect.

So far seems to be good. I like the way it fits, but used it a lot yet.

Great lightweight pack, and exactly the right size, to keep me from bringing the kitchen sink. I can and do bring a 3 person tent, bag, pad, micro stove, fuel, fly rod, water and filter, cook gear, first aid and food. Seems just right for multi day trips.

I've got ~100 miles into this pack, from nice gravel trails to talus slopes to snow climbs. My base weight is ~15lb. I use a pump filter bottles instead of a bladder. I cook, never cold soak. Pros: -It carries well. For all the terrain I've been on I've never felt my pack flapping around throwing me off balance. -Excellent hip belt pockets. These things are HIGH VOLUME. -Easy to pack efficiently. No weird nooks made by straps, the material lets light through. Easy to fill up all the space. Cons -That zippered pocket is awful. If you pack the interior full, you can't fit anything in there except something flat like your permit. Also, why is the key holder in the bottom? -That front stuff pocket could use a looser elastic. Hard to fit much more than my rain jacket in there. Would like to be able to fit toiletries, my filter, headlamp which currently sit inside. -The foam on the hip fins DIGS IN and hurts. After 100 miles it still hasn't broken in. -Could use some more external storage options IMO, like a bungee or a lid with pockets for snacks, small items.

Been looking for a new backpack, went to my Outfitter on the AT in GA, and there it was. Didn't know Big Agnes was making backpacks now, so I tried one on, got it fitted, had sandbags put in and wore it around for a while. The Big Agnes name is legendary, but I'm used to sleeping in something made by Big Agnes. Must admit, I hated the colors at first, but the design was impressive, so adjustable, even on the move. Have had it for a month now, planning my next overnighter, been through thunderstorms wearing this pack and even without the cover on, no moisture got inside. It didn't sag or shift, it's brilliantly designed. Love the "Dry Bag" opening, no zipper, great idea! Lots of thought and experience went into the design of this backpack. It is by far the most comfortable pack I have ever had. I think my wife is getting jealous of the time I've been spending with Big Agnes.

I just wrapped up my fourth trip with this pack and it is a gem! I've now used it on everything from a backpacking trip (x2), climbing trip, and canyoneering trip. This thing packs a punch and is simple to use. At first, I was a bit confused about the buckles, but I've grown to love them and wish they were on all my packs! Stoked for you all to make an expedition pack! Maybe a 100L sometime soon?!
