"I purchased the Cascade last year when my son moved up to Boy Scouts. I have been extremely happy with this backpack. I am able to carry all of the things necessary for the trips (4 now) and the side pockets make it very easy to access the smaller items."

"This is a well made, internal frame pack by Alps Mountaineering. Seams are tacked and #10 zippers on the lower access. I do monthly, forest trail hiking (4-10mi). This pack stays with my weight shifting and is comfortable with >50lbs. Solid belt and shoulder straps fit snug and no shifting."

"I purchased this pack under the ALPS Pro Tester Program and saved 60% off cost (it sells for $149. 99) and this weekend I finally got to test it on the Archers Fork Trail in hilly southeast Ohio. All I can say is this pack REALLY impressed me! It's far more comfortable than my REI Morning Star 75, thanks to the generous padding on the hipbelt and shoulder straps, twice as thick as my REI pack! There are three main pockets, a map pocket on the "lid" of the pack and two mesh water bottle pockets, which I found to be a little on the "smallish" side--nonetheless my bottles never fell out, inspite of how rough the trail was."
