I used this pack on a month long trip to Belize and Guatemala. The pack itself was extremely light and durable, it went through quite a bit and never even looked worn. The fit was perfect and it carried a heavy load very well. I hiked a lot and never ended up with a sore back or shoulders.

The super cool thing about this pack is the fact that while I was hiking, my friends could unzip the entire front panel of the pack, unclip a compression strap, grab what was needed, clip it and zip it...WHILE IT WAS STILL ON MY BACK!!! The Access series is such a great idea, it really worked well for me, TRY IT!!!
