Good pack for the money. Was impressed with the durability. Held up as well if not better than my son's Kelty.

Positives:
Plenty of storage capacity
Great accessibility to gear
Side pockets are very useful

Negatives:
No load lifters on shoulder straps.

This pack survived 4 long weekend shakedown trips on the AT and a 2 week 65 mile trek at Philmont Scout Ranch in NM. 4 of out 10 people in our crew used this pack. Only minor issues like one strap breaking-stitched on the trail, no worries. External frame very useful in strapping extra gear or sleeping bag/pad to create additional internal capacity.

Improvements recommended include adding load lifters, bigger hydration sleeve, and removable lid that converts to a waistpack.
