This is a really super pack. It was comfortable enough as to be unnoticeable in my recent month-long NOLS Alaska mountaineering course, and it didn't show any wear at all. Nice features include a side access zipper, a large 'kangaroo' outside pocket, hook and loop ice axe retainer, fanny pack convertable top pocket with its own waistbelt and a place to strap your crampons onto.
