Summary

I love this pack. I've only had two other packs, a Gregory and a Kelty. I needed a pack for 2-3 days of backpacking and didn't want anything huge. I used this pack. Loaded it with my gear at just under 29lbs, it was comfortable and easy to adjust.

Pros

Holds a lot
Comfortable
Easy to adjust

Cons

Side pockets are a little too far set back
Water bottle is also far set back.

I'm by far not an expert backpacker. I needed a pack that was nice looking, fit nicely, and held what I needed.

After reading several reviews, checking out the packs at campmor and EMS, and loading them up, I found that the Osprey 65 was perfect. Lots of room, easy to pack, easy to wear and easy to adjust.

Tried it locally with gear to see how it felt and so far feels good, will see how it does on a short trip to Mt Slide.

Bought it at EMS after they had a huge sale, 20% off 1 item, plus had some gear bucks.
