Plenty of room, solid zippers, good bala By mikethewriter from San Diego, CA on 10/07/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Good Padding, Highly Adjustable, Large Capacity Best Uses: Extended Hikes, Light Loads, Travel Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I recently bought this backpack for a permanent cross country change of address. I was able to fit just about all of the t-shirts, under garments, a few pairs of pants and shorts and even extra sneakers. It was definitely overstuffed but the zippers seem like they are holding up pretty well. The top compartment has enough room to fit all personal items. The sleeping bag straps are always a nice touch as well. While there is no front loading option, there is a bottom option, however limited.

By skiflake from USA on 03/04/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Easy To Load, Good Padding, Highly Adjustable, Large Capacity, Lightweight Best Uses: Extended Hikes, Heavy Loads, Travel Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I just used this pack for a short winter backpacking trip. It was very comfortable, even with a ton of gear and weight in it. I also love the removable day pack, and the sleeping bag compartment that gregory puts on all their packs. My only problem with this pack is that it doesn't have enough small pockets on the outside, which I really like for organizing all my little items. Other than that its great.

By Moutain Gorilla from Boston, MA on 07/17/2008 Pros: Durable, Easy to Pack, Good Back Support, Good Padding, Strong Zippers Best Uses: Backpacking, Camping Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Great pack for longer adventures and as a sturdy day pack on technical pokes into the hills. Recently used it on a 6 day backpacking and climbing adventure in the Wind River Range in Wyoming and fell in love with it!
The pack fit everything I needed for the 6 days and carried unbelieveably well for being ~60lbs.
I was also able to use the pack for our climbing days - no issues getting the pack to cinch down small and compact for these days. The upside was that the pack carried just as well with 10lbs as it did with the heavy load. I didn't even know it was on me most of the time.
