This pack is roomy with lots of expandable space yet very lightweight. It is being used for international travel (checked airline bag) instead of backpacking. It works well and is a very good value.

This backpack was a fantastic bargain and so I took a gamble. I took it on a two-week trip through Europe.

The backpack has good room and an interesting layout. I like the zippers on the side that give you access to main compartment. The elastic cords on the pack let you easily put a sweater or raingear securely on the outside. The padding on the straps is comfortable. I had trouble getting waistband tight enough (I have a 32" waist) and it would loosen up over the course of a short walk. The top flap that covered the main compartment was a good design and could fit over a very full main compartment. The three straps allows you to secure the top and cinch you load very tight.

My chief issues with this backpack are its durability. The first thing I broke was one of the zippers on the side pouches. I did have the thing packed pretty tight but I'd only been using it for three days at that point - a little early for failure, in my opinion.

The next thing to fail was the strap that holds the top of the shoulder straps. The design here is very poor. It is too little stitching to hold the amount of weight that you can pack in this backpack. I did not do any trail hiking which would have been even more rugged I simply used it to get my gear between hotels and train and bus stations. I broke it picked up backpack - and not with a quick sharp hoist either.

I would recommend this backpack for a luggage holder for clothes, but not for hiking.

I am traveling to Africa with a friend and needed a carry-on luggage that I would also be able to carry around myself for long periods of time when I get there. I have packed all my stuff into it, including my sleeping bag, and I have practices carrying it around the house. It has so many straps that you can pull tighter after you've zipped it up, so it ends up a smaller size than you think at first. The padded straps make it really comfortable to hold for long periods of time and it has the added support of chest and waist straps. You can even put your water bottle on the side. It's a perfect back pack for what I needed for my trip.

This is a great pack. There are many places for adjustment, there is a lot of room, and it even comes with a nice rain cover. This is also a great value at $50.

Great backpack for the price. Got me through two weeks in Europe. Straps are padded and comfortable. There are lots of compartments to divide up smaller gear for easier packing. If you order standard shipping, it is not guaranteed in the same time frame as listed by Amazon, it is UPS' standard time. Customer service was very helpful when I complained about what I thought was going to be a longer delivery time.

This backpack fell apart the first time out on a 5day hike, and the pack was about as comfortable as carrying a cinder block on your back. It would make a great daypack oh that wont work the pack is to large. Do not waste your money like I did.

I received this pack as a gift. It looks good and feels sturdy. So, to break in the new pack, my friend and I set out on the Fox Swamp Trail in good ol SC. It was a 4-day trip and we were packed pretty heavy, but what I felt well within that of a 'hiking' pack. The first thing to snap was the upper straps that controlled how close the top of the pack sits to your back. One side broke, but was repaired with a knot. Then the second one broke no more than an hour later. While walking, the waist and height straps continued to go loose and needed constant readjustments. The padding was more of a hassle than a comfort. By the end of the day, I'd lost one of the large clip on that held the top lid close, the waist band, and a zipper.

This pack would only be good for an overnight trip and even then, do not pack heavy. Products that are more expensive, will generally be more durable. All in all, at the end of day 2, my trip was canceled, we hitched a ride back to our car and nursed a damaged pride.

If you're looking for an alright pack set up and such, I'd spend the extra 30 bucks and buy a good strong Alice Pack and a frame for it. It should be enough to back pack in for at least 3 days.

So Far this pack seems great. Went on a camping trip but only a 15 min. Hike so I cant tell you about durability but as far as comfort best pack I've had so far.

Went backpacking in Europe for a month, bag was everything i could have wanted. Bag fits a lot and is comfortable to carry. highly recommended.
