I am a long time Jansport fan, and this is my second Jansport pack. The first one wore out because I was stupid and it got a bit too moldy in the basement. I took this pack out for the first time last week on a week long trip, and it performed really well. Had a little trouble getting the waist belt to sit correctly, but after I got home, I think I spotted the issue and anticipate no problems on my next hike.

All straps are easy to tighten and loosen, which is especially helpful in cold conditions. I had close to 60 lbs in this pack (a good portion of it was dog food for my hiking buddy), and it balanced really well. I would definitely recommend this pack to others.
