Version reviewed: Long

Excellent pack. Took me across Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in Michigan with no problems. The suspension works well and stability is excellent. Simple design and can fit all my bulky gear with ease. Daisy chain and bladder pocket are nice additions. Very light for its size, at a mere 2.2 kilos. I could not be happier with the Condor and it is light on the bank account.

This baby carried me from London to Kathmandu, Southeast Asia, Etc., Etc. Many, many trips through the Canadian Rockies and not a single problem with this pack.

There is room for the kitchen sink and dishes to fill it. The Condor has an exceptional harness with very durable fasteners.

Five years with this pack, and it's never let me down. Heavy loads, 2 week trips, Africa to the Rockies, and only one small tear (Thanks to a rodent). Newer models have only been getting better, larger outer pocket, improved suspension.
