"You get a lot of pack for the money, and this thing is bullet proof. It's a little heavy, but it's huge. I was looking at packs for twice the money, but for as little as I get out for an actual overnighter it's well worth the compromise compared to a three hundred dollar pack I use twice a year."

"I've owned this pack for a few months now, and have taken it out on four treks -- three weekenders, and a five night trek in the Colorado Rockies. A drawstring can be pulled tight to create two compartments, or loosened for one large compartment (I prefer two compartments)."

"This is a great pack, not too big but good enough. Lots of pockets including two that are waterproof. I have used this for day hikes and for ten days at a time and after a year and a half it still looks great.

I have had problems with other packs hurting my shoulders and back but this one has never hurt at all."

"Great pack at a great price. I was needing to upgrade from a military CFP 90 pack that I had used for the last 15 years. The things I liked most about the CFP 90 was the size, external pockets and sleeping bag separation. The Circuit 3. 0 matched these requirements and exceeded my expectations."
