This bag is my dream goddess. I've carried it everywhere, for school and mountaineering in Washington state. It was well worth getting the long version for a tall person, and two side clutter-sacks to attach to side straps usually get it as full as i need it. You know the saying about filling up every little bit of space you have...this is just the right size for anything, really, and nice daisy chains on the outside allow you to pretty much strap on anything you can think of. I love this backpack. if I had the next size bigger i would just carry more useless stuff.

Only complaints are that the under-top and top pocket cinch straps are a little bit too wussy. It would have worked better as a floating lid pack, but we can't have everything in life, can we?

The point of life.....is to be totally aware of it
