Yug! This here sucker is a real workhorse you see. I load it with a week's worth of gear and it seems to not have a problem. The bottom is tougher that a pelican in a salt mine and it has room to hold anything you'll need.

My only gripe would be the top pocket, although it does convert to a small waistpack, there's not so much room in it. The compression straps are a thing of beauty and the multiple access points put a smile on my face, kind of like a big batch of stuffed cabbage!
