I'm one who think that good things shouldn't cost an arm and a leg. This pack has some very nice features that the $200.00+ packs have. Bellows pockets. Plenty of room for the sleeping bag, bunches of space, easy zippers, a rain cover and is fully adjustable in all the right places.

Cons: It's a bit heavy at 5.5lbs ..but I've seen quite a few of the more expensive packs at the same weight. Also the bottle pockets aren't easy to reach with the pack on and loaded ...can be done but not easy.

I've paid more and had fewer features than this pack. Not a bad buy at all ...now I'm off to the Cascades for a good season of testing!

Fall Update:
After a summer backpacking around the Washington Wilderness areas, I would still have to say that this pack was a good buy. Plenty of room and easy to get to everything. So much room! Although a summer of backpacking sure helped point out the bad parts, two of them mainly: The back is heavy and it doesn't completely sit on your back well. The contour allows air to the back which is nice but it is as if the lumbar support is off a bit ..a little to low mainly.

At the same time, the pros outweighed the cons enough so that I didn't go back to my old pack which is *much* lighter with better padding and I used this pack through the whole 2006 season.

I took this pack on safari and basically kicked the crap out of it. It was great. Enough pockets to keep your stuff separate, but not so many that you couldn't remember where you put things. Very comfortable, and easy to reach the straps to adjust the pack. I carried water separately, so I can't comment on the other reviewer's issue with the water pockets.

I was uincredibly impressed with this pack. It was very affordable compared to all the other packs I looked at online but since it got such great reviews from others I decided to take a gamble and get it for our backpacking trip around Costa Rica. The pack has tons of different storage pockets so that you can organize things and reach them easily (my boyfriend's much pricier bag was just one giant tube which he had to unpack and repack to find things), there is also a zipper down the side of the main pack to reack things at the bottom without unpacking the whole bag. My favorite pat was that when the whoe thing is zipped up and buckled none of the pockets can be reached without unbuckling the bag so I didn't have to worry about pickpocketers getting into the bag while it was on my back in crouded streets, bus stations, etc. It held up very well for being packed very tightly and on the move for 2 plus weeks.
