This pack is very comfortable and you can really move around with it. I loaded it with 20 kls. but you wouldn't really feel the weight.

The downside of this pack and a real big deal is that the fabric starts to rip off from the stitch-line on the top-side and on the pocket-line. I am so disappointed because it is only my second time to use it. Compare to my other pack that I've been using for years. I don't think this pack will last for another 4 or 5 more hikes.
