I bought this as a gift but it is built strong and the design is much better than the other brands I looked at. It is very light weight but will hold up to a good amount of abuse.

Pack is great, just got back from a 2night trip and the pack is a great size, really light but carries a lot, and highly adjustable. The color looks sharp too, felt like the prettiest girl at the ball with this thing on. However, the waist band needs a bit of help. The cushion right in the back rubs a bit and created abrasion. This might have been because the belt is too big for me and can't quite get narrow enough. Sure i'm a skinny guy, but I wear 31in pants and that can't be totally unique for backpackers. The waistband doesn't go small enough, they need to make it more usable for men with my build.

This is a good value in a light pack, but it needs an interior panel separating the sleeping bag and main compartments

I love the look of this back pack but was mostly disappointed in its performance. For my job, i have to wear this backpack almost 24/7 for a week straight, after two weeks of use, the padding in the straps has flatted which makes it prone to rubbing and quite uncomfortable. The zippers on the top pouch and the lower opening are difficult to open and close when the bag is packed. Cutting the fabric that covers the zippers off mostly solved this problem. It?s also worth noting that this pack does not come with a rainfly and does not have a separate pocket to store a rainfly as many packs do

Great experience so far with this pack. Plenty of room for a weekend camping trip or hauling climbing gear to the crag

I was happy with construction quality, especially the sticking. I'd like to see more divisions within the bag, especially between main compartment and sleeping bag area. Overall though, I'm very pleased.

I took a chance on this bag and it worked out. This was my first new backpack purchase in over 10 years. I took this pack out on a brutal day hike yesterday. I had about 20 lbs of gear in it and the pack held up extremely well and was surprisingly comfortable. It comes with a hydration sleeve which is nice, but it does not have a hole to run your line through on the bag, instead you have to run it out the top (which isn't a huge issue) but it would have been nice to have a side hole. It's very roomy at 55 liters and perfect for a couple of days in the backcountry. I fit a very large bear can in there just fine as well as a sleeping bag, camera gear and other stuff. I especially like the separate front compartment that has a lot of space and the key/cell phone hip pack holder. Overall the pack felt great all day until I was coming down the mountain and I'm excited to take this on more adventures.
