Women's Demon

"Purchased this pack because of its simple design for a week of hiking. It did great.

The only problem is that the straps tend to loosen as you walk so check them each time your stop. Don't want to loose your bedroll.

Once all the straps were properly adjusted I could hardly tell I was carrying it. It stood up to the abuse like a champ."

"I've come to the conclusion that there is no pack that does it all and my backpack collection is starting to resemble my wife's purse collection. With most of my packs designed for fast/light pursuits, I needed a rockclimbing bag that could hold up to the extra weight and abuse."

"I recently got this pack for my climbing bag and took it on a muti pitch route. It was great, I hiked in about 5 miles to the wall with no issues and climbed with it on the first pitch. It kept out of the way and was unrestraining with the mostly nylon strap hipbelt but it had some padding with provided adequate support."
