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. The daypack attachment is convenient, has enough room and is comfortable to wear as well. If you're looking for something negative about this pack, all I can give you is that I've had some minor squeaking while hiking with heavy loads, but that is easily corrected by tightening a couple of straps. Highly recommend, great pack for the price! Most benefits of an internal with the cost of an external.
