I just bought my second day pack. I had my first for about 10 years and had no problems. It went through college as a book bag and many hiking trips, day trips, traveling across the country, and works great as a motorcycle bag.

I thought I had it loaded down when i hiked the Grand Canyon down and up same day, but my buddy got dehydrated, so I wound up carrying all of his stuff. between both of our stuff I had well over a gallon of water, snacks, extra clothing etc. The pack can handle much more than one would think.

I would highly recommend this to anyone. I was riding a motorcycle with my last one and to my own fault it got caught up in the chain and tore a few holes in it. If it weren't for that I would still be using it. Now my friend uses it as a diaper bag. Great product.
