Great bag. There is one little thing I don't like. The floating hood hangs over the bag and needs to be tied back when you are not carrying a full load. The bag is otherwise perfect. Very versatile. I recommend an expansion pocket or two to help organize your gear. Double dasiy chains on shovel flap are great for attaching whatever. Elastic cord I used to hold my gore-tex jacket for when the temp. dropped in the mountains. Four loops on sleeping bag compartment are great for therma-rest sleeping pads. This bag is what you want for big weekends to a good week of backpacking.
