LOVE this backpack!! I've used many and this is the first that I've found 100% satisfaction. An excellent size for extended hikes, comfortable for a woman's back, and has lots of convenient pockets. A beautiful buy! I wouldn't go any other route!

This is a great backpack-would have given it 5 stars except for one thing...I ordered a NorthFace backpack but it was just too small...but the shoulder and waist straps it had were awesome, put Kelty's to shame, but the Kelty backpack itself puts the Northface to shame; it has nicer side and front pockets, access through the front and the larger front pocket has compartments, which is a top priority when traveling or packing to have quick access to smaller stuff....wallet, book, maps, etc...so yeah this pack is great, also being a womens pack it is built different and I love that, it is the first womens pack I have gotten and I hope more companys will make more "womens" packs!!!

Perfect for a week-long hike and suitable for longer ones also, in a pinch. Lots of conveniently placed and sized pockets. Very adjustable.

Excellent back pack. I used it for a 10-day trip to Ireland and Scotland and it held everything I needed it to! Seller was great to work with, and item was shipped ahead of time - a nice surprise!

I bought this pack because I was looking for a woman's pack that could hold at least 70L. I went to REI and they only had the Osprey, and despite what everyone else said I thought it was very uncomfortable and pricy (It was about $350 at the time). I went on Amazon and found this review, and despite my hesitation about ordering a pack I haven't tried, I didn't have many other choices. It ended up being a great pack. LOTS of room, side pockets, top component for maps, bottom for sleeping bag, plus room for adding your own straps. For such a roomy pack it's also surprisingly lightweight. Also, I have a short torso and this was very comfortable. The hip straps doesn't hurt at all even with a loaded 40lb pack. Even though I bought it for longer trips I now use this most of the time. I sure hope they bring this back in stock in case I need another one.

A friend recommended this bag to me for our backpacking trip through Europe. She had bought it for her trip through Southeast Asia, and then to use later this summer for our trip. After her first trip, she was very pleased, so I went ahead and bought the same one. Although I cannot compare it to another, because this was my first backpacking trip, I must say that I was very impressed. The amount of space provided and pockets for organization were very nice. The price was very reasonable as well. Once the bag was adjusted properly to my body type, it made lugging it around from country to country no problem at all. I would most certainly recommend this bag to any backpacker, especially first-timers!
