I love this bag. It's a great travel back as well as for hiking. The straps all tuck-in to a special compartment that zips up for a compact suitcase-like bag that you can check-in for flights. Then, when you get to your destination you can pull out the straps and hike away. It holds a lot of gear and has very efficient compression straps. Its lightweight metal support bars also make it one of the sturdiest bags I've ever strapped on.

But the best thing about it is that there aren't a lot of excessive straps and flaps hanging off everywhere, getting snagged on branches and things. That doesn't mean you can't hook things on. And it was two perfect size outer pockets. The small zip-off pack for day hikes is cool too. However it feels better when you just use the big sack. It's the large volume bag that impresses best. It's too bad they stopped making this bag. I think a lot of people would enjoy it as much as I do.
