I have a Hi-Tec "Summit" which I purchased at Big 5. Mine is about 74 Liters (4500 cu in) with detachable daypack and detachable belt pack. I have only had it for a few weeks, but it holds up to heavy weightloads. I find my old body can't keep up with the unit, so it is quite adequate for me. I can carry 40 pounds while walking 2 miles, but any more weight may impair my spine!

Mine has a raincover (bottom zipper), a conversion from backpack to handheld luggage, an organizer, and other compartments. Mine was assembled when I bought it. The bottom straps are obvious, the top small straps hold the armstraps together so as not to slide off of the shoulders. There is a variety of other straps and things, but I haven't used them yet. I did use the daypack once, and it was fine for holding my apples and jalapenyos I purchased. Normally I use this container to hold my icepack for frozen food or ice cold water. I would think that the pack wss worth about $150 or so, based on what I've seen online. BTW, I use a very good 2 wheel carrier (ball-bearing wheels, collapsible) for those trips where the weight is too much for me. The bag holds up well as a container then too. I am very happy with it, I think you did well.

The company is Wingroup North America, Inc. from 5988 Peachtree Corners East, Norcross, GA 30071
