I had my Red Cloud for about three years when it gave out on me. The fabric at the bottom end of the stay ripped out and let one of the stays fall out of the pack. Also, whenever I carried heavy loads in the rain the velcro tab that keeps the stays in at the top would break loose. Save your money and get a better pack if you plan on a lot of use.
