I like this pack. I purchased this pack at Gart Sports before a 5-day backpacking trip in the Grand Canyon (Tonto Trail) in early May, 2004. This pack proved to be a great load hauler. I carried 5 days worth of food and up to 8 1/2 quarts of water (for two dry camps) in addition to personal gear. The pack has lots of sizing options. Also, I like the flexibility the pack gives you with a removable lid and side compartments. One day I used the removable lid/fanny pack on a hike from Monument Creek down to Granite Rapids on the Colorado River. All in all, I am very happy with this pack and it will probably replace my Dana Design Bridger on shorter, weekend trips as well.
