I have been using this pack for two years now and it's awesome. The back support and lumbar system make this pack comfortable, and when I'm on long hikes I sometimes forget it's even there. I've used it for a lot of trips ranging from a long day hike, to 3 day outings and even 5 day outings and small expeditions and it has proven itself time and time again.

Durable and holds up great (as long as the owner takes care of their gear). Still looks as good as it did the day it caught my eye in the store. I feel the space volume is very sufficient I've been able to hold just about all of my gear in it and on it (I live in Colorado so in the winter I need to carry a lot). I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a nice durable pack with comfort and good volume.
