Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars

Size: 42L (actual volume is larger)
Number of Pockets: 7
Max. Load Carried: 25 lbs.
Height of Owner: 5'6"
Price Paid: $100

I needed a pack for traveling abroad and this one is great. It has lots of pockets and top and front access with a divider. It seems well built -- I've thrown it around, slept on it, dragged it, been rained on, etc. without any problems. The built in rain-cover is also a nice feature.

It's conservatively sized at 42L and can easily hold closer to 50L. It's right at the size limit of carry-on baggage (I've only had one instance that I had to check it).

I've yet to find any problems with it, other than it's a bit larger than the stated 42L and the bright yellow, though cool, tends to stick out.
