“Uncomfortable”

“I bought this for a through hike on the John Muir this past summer. What started out fine--large capacity diverse pockets--turned into a painful experience after only a few days. The right shoulder strap never got comfortable and after three weeks I had a deep purple bruise that lasted a few more weeks. I felt imbalanced when the pack was full. The pack sat too close to my back with little comfort. My back was always sweaty at the end of a day's hike. Although it was easy getting to all my gear, the side pockets near the hip belt weren't large enough for my water bottles. Somehow I got two inch-long holes in the fabric as well, but the zippers lasted despite at times getting pulled to their maximum capacity.”
