Gggrrrr! The Gregory Shasta is a friggin' monster. I've used it under all conditions and it's done great. It's incredibly adjustable, can comfortably carry staggering amounts of weight, and fits my tall frame just right.

It's not a light pack, but I have lived out of it for months, so I guess there will always be trade-offs. It has held up well-a couple broken clips after several years. No tears, no burst seems.

I've grown less and less interested in heavy backpacking, so I may trade in for something lighter, but if a durable Sherman-tank-of-a-backpack that can carry everything you need to survive is something you're in the market for, the Shasta might be the one.
