I have never actually owned this backpack, but the first time I went backpacking, this was the pack I used. I used it on a 40-mile Outward Bound trip through Pisgah National Forest in North Carolina, and it was excellent. It is a really solid pack. Let me say you could beat the crap out of this thing and it will serve you well, it's comfortable and sturdy.

I disliked the small side pockets, although they were big enough for my nalgenes. I also disliked the lack of external pockets. Otherwise this pack is awesome, definitely the best buy for a hardcore backpacker.
