DO NOT, (let me repeat that) DO NOT BUY THIS PACK! It is the cruddiest pack on the face of the earth. It is uncomfortable. The shoulder straps are hard to adjust. It hardly compressed. It literally sways when you walk, it sits so high the top of the frame reachs a foot above your head and the bottom of the frame reaches below your buttocks--who needs that except a packmule?

I hated this pack since the first time I used it (and wished I could get my money back). My friend let me borrow one of his internal frames AND I WILL NEVER WEAR AN EXTERNAL FRAME PACK AGAIN! WHY WOULD YOU SPEND $75-100 ON THIS PIECE OF JUNK WHEN FOR $200 YOU COULD GET A STATE-OF-THE-ART NORTH FACE, REI, OR MARMOT INTERNAL FRAME?
