I took this pack on a 36 day mountaineering trip. Just as the last guy has said the comfort was amazing. This pack was like a dream. I previously owned a Gregory Palisade and would feel very uncomfortable with it fully loaded it being about 80L. This pack fully loaded was a whole 45L larger and it felt like a day pack in comparison.

I was incredibly impressed by the amount of stuff I could fit in it and at how the pack became weightless when I tightened the straps for the hip belt.

As well the materials were very water resistant and for a day of rain did not let any water in. The top came off the pack to make an excellent day pack, a lot larger than any other pack lid I have ever seen.

Despite this there were a few problems which arose. The first was the strappyness of the pack. I found that the inside compression straps were useless so I removed them and the hydration pouch from the pack. The pouch was not high enough for my water bladder.

As well I had trouble with some of the straps disconnecting from the frame sheet but that was fixed in the field with a little pea cord and when I returned granite gear replaced them in less than a month including shipping time from Victoria BC to Minnesota and back.

All in all this pack was amazing and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a serious load hauling gear gobbling giant of a pack.
