"I purchased this pack for a 3-week backpack trip through Europe near the end of 2006. This is one of the most comfortable packs I have ever used. It has great weight distribution and enough pockets to keep items that you need frequently easily accessible."

"Like the mesh backed shovel pocket and the way the cinch straps allowed me to secure items that didn't quite fit in the pack. It came with the 3 liter hydration system which is new to me, but has already changed the way I pack. The j zipper access is nice. It took a while to fine tune the fit."
