I just used this for a 4 day trip to Sacramento. I wish the handle was a bit more robust as it does have some side to side play. I have a Oakley backpack that I slipped over the handle and used the Oakley's bottom compression straps to go through a carabiner I added to the eagle creek. would be nice for a couple lash points be added to the sides of the eagle creak to facilitate securing a add on bag. overall through I like it.
