“Excellent pack but limited capacity”

“Just took this for a 4-day backpack in Yosemite. All the good things people say about the pack are true, but the size (3800 on the Regular Torso) is not enough for 4-day trek where you're carrying a tent and sleeping bag plus bear cannister etc. I managed, but I didn't really carry my share of the group equipment. I think this pack would be great for winter sports like skiing in to a hut. If you don't have to carry a tent, maybe for multinight backpacking, but you have to pack ultralean. The lid makes into a fanny pack that's only so-so. Not really comfortable with a large water bottle and snacks.”
