I have used this pack for bushwhacking in the mountains of S/E Oklahoma, as well as the Texas hill country. It's light, comfortable, and ideally suited for multi-day trips. The vented front pocket is great for stashing a rain jacket or other need-to-get items. There is a sleeping bag pocket and sleeping pad straps. The IsoForm harness and CM hipbelt were form-fitted by the local dealer, and I've never had a pack that carried like this Osprey. It moves with me...

For a quick overnight loop for a multi-day adventure, this pack will prove a reliable partner.
