Took it to the Wind River Range in Wyoming for 5 days. Overall, a decent pack for for long weekend/short week trips. Was comfortable with a 50-60 lb load, though I would personally not load it any heavier. I was really impressed how easy it was to move on highly variable terrain. The side pockets were perfect for fuel bottles.

Now for what I didn't like. The Nalgene sleeve was awkward to use while the pack was on. Like other reviewers, I think the weak points of this pack are where the shoulder straps attach to the frame. Overall I probably would not buy this pack again due to concerns about durability.
