I love this pack. Typical use is 3-4 night solo trips into backcountry in Oregon. Comfortably balanced load includes tent, pad, bag, stove, cook gear, food, water, clothes, book to read, camera and creature comforts. All but water bottle and sleeping pad are inside. This pack wears like a comfy old jacket. Easy to take on and off; easy to access essentials in top pocket/lid or outside back pocket. I had it fitted with women's shoulder harness and hipbelt and it's perfect.

Love the waterproof bottom. Pack is very "strappy." I tuck and tie all the extra length. I have used the top pocket as a funky fanny pack--pretty marginal. It's easier to empty the pack and just carry it with a light load, or pack in a little fanny pack. Excellent value. If you find a used one, buy it.
