“Very comfortable pack!!”

“This pack is ridiculously comfortable. I took about 45lbs on this pack for a 5mile (one way) trip over 1600ft of elevation gain in desolation wilderness (lake tahoe area). I'm not a particularly well built/strong person(5ft 6, 140lbs). But I had no problems carrying this load. I had no soreness in the hip or in my shoulders. The fit was perfect. There are 3 access points. One on top and more importantly 2 on the side. This pack is probably ideal for trips up to 4-5 days (with 45lbs and maybe push to 50lbs) on your pack. With 4000 cu.in. (XS size. For bigger sizes the capacity goes up to 4700 cu.in) it is a medium sized pack. For long excursions, this may not be ideal. Hydration pack is a minor con. It kept shifting here and there while loading. There are no clips for the hydration pack on the shoulder strap. So, you need to go to a store and get one if you need it. The side pockets could have been a tad larger. Minor gripes. For the comfort it offers, I love this pack. I also met another hiker who had this pack for 3 years and loved it.”
