Price Paid: $140 US

I carried this pack with 50 lbs for about 9 miles of rugged terrain. The pack had some nice features, including lots of exterior pockets, but I couldn't get the hip belt to fit right and it had thin padding in the lumbar region, which gave me sore spots on the back of my hips. This pack might be OK for occasional use, but if you intend to do a lot of backpacking or to carry a lot of weight, get a better pack. (I would suggest the Gregory Shasta or Osprey Silhouette if you can afford them.)
