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. The C.D. weighs less than comparable Dana externals and is much less expensive. All components were well-stitched, straps and belts very comfortable and easy to adjust. This is a state-of-the-art external frame backpack.
