The plastic plate used to attach the right strap to the pack at the shoulder broke the night I began a climb of Mt Hood. Had a spare pack not been available my climb would've been over. At least it didn't happen on the mountain. Upon return to REI, a similar event was mentioned concerning another Baltoro. Sorry, but this pack has a problem. A shame as it fit well, appeared well made, and was quite comfortable.
