Got on sale for £135. Used it for Wainwright's coast to coast and have carried up to 50 lbs in it. Doesn't look, and isn't, particualrly big, but get the lid up and there is plentyy of room for most things, including multi-day camping. Not a climbing sac, and I think it is better suited to UK walking in all seasons than my brother's Ascent XPD. Back system is very comfortbale and sack is very well made and durbale. Don't be fooled - IT IS NOT WATERPROOF! It may be more water resistant then other packs but definitely still needs a liner if there is any rain at all. This doesn't bother me - I didn't expect it to be without taped seams. Superb - five out of five!
