This has been nothing but a great all around pack for me which has covered several different purposes equally well. I have taken in on section hikes on the AT, hiking in the West, as well as urban backpacking through Europe and Asia several times.

There really is something to be said about the suspension of this pack: it seems to carry lighter than do many other packs of similar size. I feel as though I am able to shift more weight to my hips where it belongs than with packs I have used before.

It has often been said that it is good for a weekend pack, but this is a severe underestimation of its capabilities. If you are intelligent about the other gear you choose, this pack can be easily be loaded to keep you out on the trail for well past a week, making it totally thru-hiking capable.

I don't really love the design of the outer pockets, which are my only qualm with the bag. They are somewhat ill placed and shaped, and seem to be designed to fit specific items very well, while fitting other items less desirably.

The carry of the bag though makes this a great all around pack, very versatile and well constructed.
