This is a great pack. I bought mine in 2002 and it's still in great shape after lugging chemistry textbooks around for two years and taking it into the field every day stuffed full of bird banding equipment. It has one hole in the bottom that first manifested while lugging around said textbooks but it hasn't gotten any larger with the hard use.

The external mesh pockets are especially nice, they are roomy enough to hold a Nalgene. Expensive initial purchase, but it beats the pants off of any other brand of backpack I've ever used (especially Jansport!) so it's worth the price. I truly don't leave home without it. I anticipate many more happy years together!
