By Dave from Virginia on 11/10/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Easy To Load, Good Padding, Highly Adjustable, Large Capacity, Lightweight Best Uses: Day Hikes, Extended Hikes, Travel Describe Yourself: Professional Guide Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Fantastic. Top-notch craftsmanship, well engineered, I love the semi-trampoline suspension, and it looks slick. Would've liked to pick it up when STP had it for [$], but it's still a fantastic pack. Think of it as an Osprey Atmos 50 with front access.
Not impressed - complicated and cheap By Zipzangboom from Texas on 10/20/2009 Cons: Bad Padding, Restricts Movement, Weak Seams Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Loaded this pack with my gear, tried it on, and it was extremely uncomfortable. For being a high-end pack the materials were rather cheap in my opinion. The lid does not close very well (leaves opening at top if you do not work to close it properly).
Many better packs at much lower prices than this pack.
By JK from Chicago, IL on 09/07/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Easy To Load, Good Padding, Highly Adjustable, Large Capacity, Lightweight Best Uses: Day Hikes, Extended Hikes, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I did not try it in the field yet, but after loading a heavy gear I really liked the adjustable back panel and all the customization options. Main selling points certainly are: front loading (very useful!!!), lots of pockets, loops, rain cover and overall quality! The additional plus is shoulder straps' shape: not too wide and bulky, which I found very comfortable regarding my thin shoulders (I am a petite size women :-)
By hiker from traverse city on 09/02/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Easy To Load, Good Padding, Highly Adjustable, Lightweight Best Uses: Day Hikes, Travel Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Just got back from 5 day trip. The pack was perfect since we tried not to bring too much stuff. Sleeping bag and extra food fit fine, but it was warm, and we did not need a lot of clothes. Would have been too small for over nights in colder weather. All features were great.
