"I got this pack because of the rave reviews it got in the 2005 Backpacker Magazine for its unique Taco System. It also looked really cool and that helped my decision when I saw the price tag was close to $200. Nevertheless, I got a late season online sale and paid 50% less which had me stoked until I tried to take this pack out in the field."
