I've had this pack for a year now and have used it a number of times but for no more than four days at a time. However, there is plenty of room and this pack could definitely be used for longer trips. This is my first internal frame pack and I've been very happy with it. I've always had a sore back at the end of a day of packing with externals but this pack has proved to be very comfortable--especially after I figured out how to tweak all the load adjusters. The pack doesn't come with a place to store a water bottle so that it can be reached easily. But overall I have been very pleased with the Terraplane and would strongly recommend it to anyone else. Also, my recommendation is to look for a '99 model because if you look you can find them at a significantly lower price than the 2000s.
