This is an excellent pack for a long weekend to a week for you ultralighters. My wife and I pack for comfort, not for speed, and I typically carry around 45-55 lbs for a long weekend on the App Trail.

This pack is extremely adjustable and very comfortable. It rides close to your back to provide excellent agility, but manages to vent pretty well also. The hip belt is also the most comfortable I have worn. I really had no complaints with the layout or function of the pack. The pack was also universally praised by several others in my group who got the chance to take it for a few miles.

The only reason I didn't give it 5 out of 5 is that the suspension seems to make a little noise (like a new pair of shoes.) This may go away with more trail time. I guess the other downside would be cost. After trying multiple packs, I did end up paying a premium for the comfort of the Triconi 60.

All in all, in my opinion, it was well worth the premium paid. I would recommend this pack to anyone without reservation and look forward to having it with me for quite some time.
