Summary

Very well constructed. Excellent load carrying capacity.

Pros

Excellent load carrying engineering.
Excellent materials used.

Cons

Loading in front pocket will put strain on the zippers.

Bought it from campmor on a sale about 2 years ago for $85. Getting the backpack to sit on your hips makes for a comfy journey thus waist size is critical.

I have a tendency to load up the backpack on trips n typically it weighs ~55 pounds. While loading I make sure that the weight is balanced. I don't really feel the weight. It's very comfortable.

I typically put in a footprint for the tent, the tent itself, a sleeping bag, my clothes, n food in the main pocket. The side pockets hold water bottles - 1 litre each. The top pockets - flashlights, headlamps, emergency lamps, snacks, etc. Capacity is as advertised.

I have used it for two years now, and although i have not misused it it has definetly lived up to my expectations - with the design, material, construction, capacity and price.
