It's a very well built pack. All the seams are quite burly, and it'll last a long time.

Chris, I've had mine for almost two years now, and use it for a variety of things. Backpacking, airline travel-on, and a deployment bag for Afghanistan. It's been in helicoptors, paletized in C-130's and basically abused...not one problem with seams, straps, or fasteners!
