I down-sized from the Gregory Palisades for my 3-5 day excursions into the Applachian. This pack was firm on my back, was extremely comfortable (great suspension) and held all my gear. And it is fully 2 lbs lighter than my Palisades. I could not be more thrilled with this pack. My four hiking buddies all tried it on and wish they had it.
