"I've used this pack on the Pennsylvania section of the Appalachian Trail and on Scouting campouts in the wilds of Maryland and Pennsylvania. It's an excellent bag that is great for balance on narrow trails and for general hiking on well-worn footpaths."

"I've hiked in the Ozarks, the Rockies, and Kauai's Kalalau Trail and this pack has never left me saddle sore. It's streamlined design is almost a hybrid of an internal and external frame pack. I like it so much I bought the smaller version for my wife."

"High quality pack, lots of room. The narrow close to your body frame is excellent, it keeps your back cool and shirt dry (even hiking in AZ desert), and you don't get the sway when leaning left or right that you do with other externals. Straps/clips are strong and hip belt comfortable so far."

"This backpack is an excellent low-profile external frame. It's narrower than many externals like the Kelty Tioga or Dana Longbed, and this makes it a good deal more capable off-trail, and less likely to snag brush. The internal hydration pouch and tube slit is perfect for a Camelback and on-the-go drinking."
