"Arc´teryx 35 rt. If you are looking for a tough backpack with enough space for a weekend look no further. This is the best 35 lt pack I have ever used in more than 30 years of expeditions and outdoor experience. The roll top is very easy to use and makes the main compartment safely weatherproof."

"I have to say, when I bought this backpack I was very happy with it. Not to say that I am really unhappy with the pack, but it does have an annoying piece to it. The overall water resistantness is super, really well done for that. Although I love the rolltop, as mentioned in one of the other reviews, it compromises the compression straps."

"I liked the Roll Top concept until I actually had to live with it. The backpack is somewhat waterproof although in an alpine environment waterproofness isn't the most important feature. The problem with the roll top design is that it compromises the compression system of the pack."

"I want to say 5 but I would have liked more space. I took this pack out for two weeks of canoe tripping down the Missinaibi River. I was leading a trip and thus needed space for myself and minimal gear. The pack rests beautiful on my back for the portages."

"I had purchased this pack as weekend pack, but have since been carrying it everyday for the past year. I like the roll top design. Not only is it weatherproof, but is easy to access and not as "top heavy" as other packs. I keep it loaded with 50+ pounds of gear, and it has been very comfortable."
