I just had to write a review of this pack after I finally killed mine, and ran out and picked up another one. First off, they do not make this pack anymore (8/00), buy you can ask EMS to put out an all stores bulletin for some laying around. My pack got me through years of day hiking which included ascents, both winter and other seasons, of probably 270+ peaks in the Northeast, and the majority were haneous bushwhacks. I cut off the haul loop and compression straps so it won't get caught up in vegetation. I broke the zipper once (my fault), returned it, and got it quickly repaired for free with a letter apologizing for the broken zipper. EMS customer service is A+. The pack is comfy, well built, and can be picked up for a cheap price. The outside contains two loading straps, two removable webbings, inner pocket for very small stuff, a key clip, and 4 outer compression straps. I have had no better day pack to date.
