4.0 out of 5 stars Very decent pack at an affordable price., June 3, 2006

By	Robert "whidbeyfisher" (Puget Sound, Wa, USA) - See all my reviews

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice, simple pack, October 24, 2006

By	Wonk Girl (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Backpacking bag - great deal!, May 13, 2007

By	Julie Mantrish - See all my reviews

Bag is strong & tough!
I used it for 10 consecutive days and had no problems with it.
There are so many different pockets for organization.
The clips are strong.
The padding on the back is flexible and adjustable to your size (s-xl).
Great buy.
