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. However, if you have trimmed your pack down to the barest essentials for an overnight, or longer, in the woods, then this pack just might be your ticket.

The volume of this pack holds enough gear for several days of ultralight hiking. The Dyneema material is ABSOLUTELY as strong as it claims to be. The only conceivable con to this bag is that it only has 1 main pocket. There are 2 on the side for water bottles, but I usually use on of those to hold my TarpTent Cloudburst. If you're looking for a lightweight, bombproof pack, you should consider this pack.
