Another great pack by Osprey; lightweight and comfortable. I bought this pack for lightweight backpacking (weekend trips) and traveling. It has had no problems taking a beating under rugged conditions and has carried the weight very well even when overpacked with 35+ pounds. This pack is simple but does not sacrifice many great features such as a small mesh pocket in the brain, or an emergency whistle on the chest strap. All and all a well thought out product by Osprey.
