Just got this pack for a three day mountain winter hike on the Ouachita Trail. The pack performed without a problem. It felt great on the scrambles of rock on the trail and has lots of storage.

The hipbelt pockets sold me. I needed them for the small things and a camera at hand. The suspension is what I expected, having owned a Gregory Shasta. This pack is all I'll need for quick trips or weeklong trips. I walked around the store for an hour with 40 lbs in it (max. weight I would think) before buying just to see how it would feel...no problems.
