By far the best pack I have used. Independently pivoting shoulder and hip straps allow range of motion I would never have dreamed of from a pack this size. Jump, twist, run, do what you do and the pack stays there and remains comfy. The exo-frame tech. really allows torso flexibility. The top comes off and makes a handy little day pack, I think it's meant as a fannypack, but I use it as a messenger bag.

Amazing versatility. I use this pack year round. It is awesome in the winter, easily fits my -20 bag, thermarest, 4-season tent and all necessary gear without a second thought. If you are headed out in the summer for two days, the compression straps will bring this pack down to a very small bag that you really barley notice. I'v done bike trips with it.

The only thing that has ever happened with it is that the tension straps over the shoulders occasionally slip if they have a lot of stress on them. But other than that, it's really the perfect pack for me. Indestructable, versatile and functional.
