"I've owned this pack for 3 years and used it on around 10 backpacking trips and several hiking trips, as well as taking to to Mexico and Colorado traveling. I've taken it to the top of two mountains and gone climbing and canoeing with it. I recommend it highly to anyone who is a serious ultra-light backpacker and who needs a pack that takes a beating."

Men's Jam Pack
Reviewed by Johnny Brewer, Dec 22, 2006

"First of all, you must know that the rating of 5 stars is given in consideration of what exactly this backpack is for: ultralight backpacking. If you are going to carry a large propane stove, a Quallofill sleeping bag, a 4-man tent, and an extra pair of boots, then this is not the pack for you."
