"I had a budget of up $500 and I know the clerk looked down her nose at me when I chose the inexpensive Jansport over the Arc'Teryx 95 she suggested. However, the arc'terryx has no reachable waterbottle pockets, so it was not even in the running.

I took the Rockies on a Sierra hike and loved it so much I bought one for my son (at 5' it was the only "real" packpack that could be adjusted to fit him well)."

"I was lucky enough to buy this from a guy whose wife bought him a Dana, but I would pay $200 for this pack. It is spacious, comfortable, and solid. The only minor complaint I have is that after a few hours hiking with 55 lbs +, the hipbelt feels a bit underpadded. Overall, a great value."

"This is the pack I took on my solo hike on the Wonderland Trail. Although some may avoid this pack because of a brand that doesn't scream eco-yuppie, this pack is well worth a look. It's a steal at $150. If your're worried about long-term durability, don't."

"I feel the pockets create the ease of orginizing I love in an external frame pack while providing the comfort of an internal frame pack. At a reasonable price the Rockies provides ample room for weekends and extended treks."

"Overall, this pack gives you plenty of space and multiple nooks and crannies to store your gear. Plus it gives it to you for a dirt cheap price. It has plenty of room to hold all of your gear as well as your kid sister. All the space is a bit deceiving because it beckons you to fill it with everything you own."

"This pack is VERY comfortable. The medium would be a better fit for someone of my size, but the suspension is easily adjustable.

This pack has spacious side pockets with additional mesh pockets on the outside of them. The top pocket should have a double zipper, but it doesn't."
