I bought this pck not knowing anything about hiking gear. Turned out to be a blessing in disguise! I've used this pack for a 3 week trip to the Philippines and it fit all my gear. Perfect weight distribution. I let my friend borrow it when she went to India for 2 weeks and loved it so much she bought one for herself. I'm going camping tomorrow for the weekend at Stokes State Park and all my gear is in there! Tent hooked to the outside, sleeping bag inside (a little tight though) clothes for the weekend, 2 pairs of shoes and sandles. bug spray and etc...and it all fits and doesn't hurt my body when feeling the load on my back. Adjustability, Durability, Comofort all for a geat price! $80 at a store closing and with my friends employee discount.

I took this pack on a 10 day trek through the high serria and I'll never regret taking it along. I really appreciated the amount of stuff I could cram in, not to mention its durability through rough weather, mud, dirt and intense hiking.

This backpack is designed very well. It distributes weight wonderfully and is very versatile. It has a good amount of capacity but might benefit from one more smaller pocket on the front. The materials used in the pack seem durable and lightweight.
