Unfortunately I haven't gone all out with this pack yet. I have gone on a two week trip through Big Bear. I packed extremely heavy on purpose to test Gregory's shop talk...WOW!!!!!!!! I packed 100lbs, carried 100lbs no problem whatsoever. I packed a month's worth of equipment and supplies.

It's very important that you learn how to pack correctly, if not you're doomed. It's true from what I've heard from other backers, I didn't once feel the 100lbs on my back untill I took it off!!! I'm going to purchase the Denali Pro asap when funds are there.

I more than strongly recommend this pack to each and every one of you. It's not an expedition pack, but I wouldn't doubt that it would do the job!!!
