did 4 days in smokies and just completed 9 days in yellowstone/galletin mts....lot of ups.

great pack...carries everything i needed...i don't know what people put in those huge packs...i added a mesh outside pocket for wet sandals (lot of fording).

big exterior pocket carries my two platys, poncho and other stuff one needs on the trail without having to go into the main pack....has two holsters for water bottles so i can carry four quarts...no filtering all day...not a huge pack but seems just right and very comfortable...my first internal pack and i'm sold...takes some getting used to because the packing is the key...TIGHT
