This is a great pack!
By Jim from Spokane, WA on 8/15/2006
Pros:
Good Padding, Highly Adjustable, Waterproof, Weatherproof
Cons:
Not Enough Straps
Best Uses:
Multi day backpacking

I've taken this pack to the summits of Mount Baker, Mount Adams, and Mount Ranier in all sorts of weather from pouring rain, snow, sleet, and KAVU. Its main forte is, of course, it's waterproof construction. This pack fits me well, is comfortable, and carries what I need to carry with ease. The load transfer disk on the hip belt really works for me enhancing my ability to carry heavier loads. I would like to see a few more external straps to increase my ability to have some equipment readily accessible. At 4lb 5 ounces its only about 5 ounces heavier than my other favorite pack the Osprey Aether 60 but I don't have to have a pack cover for inclement weather.
