Initially I balked at the high price, but I am sure glad I changed my mind. This is one really nice pack. Great for hauling books, cycling and overnight trips. This baby holds everything.

Well made overall. Big beefy zips. Nicely curved shoulder straps with ample cushy padding, not too cushy. A great padded waist belt, not some cheesey web thing. Two exterior pockets, center daisy chain and compression straps on the sides and bottom. One complaint though, what's with the lame sternum strap? It looks like they added it on as an afterthought. Hard to adjust and it just does not want to stay in place.

Great day pack nonetheless.
