A good external frame. Light and fairly spacious which can handle the weight correctly. The fabric is heavy and the price, though expensive for your average suburban home owner, isn't too bad. I would buy it.

The product is a good price, but the quality is poor. Many of the buttons, straps, and zippers don't seem like they can take abuse. I do not recommend this product.

The Best Pack. The McKinley is THE way to go if you will be into trips lasting a few days. As with most External Frame packs, you will get more support (off of your back) and better balance. Best organization with tons of compartments. It will last you a lifetime.
