I've used this pack for long day hikes, lugging climbing gear, and backcountry skiing. It carries skis fairly comfortably (diagonally in the Coombs system), although the part of the daisy chain that rubs against the skis is getting frayed. It fits my small frame well and provides plenty of support for lots of gear. This pack feels heavier compared to other daypacks of a similar size, but that's the compromise to be made for the bombproof material and suspension system of this pack. The good thing is the belt and suspension system can be taken out of the pack to make it lighter if need be.

I liked my Eiger 36 so much that I decided to buy my little sister the Diva 36 as a graduation present. Ordered the Margarita/Stardust in a small as the website made it appear a bright yellow color. In reality it is much closer to an olive/pastel green color. Both of my guy and girl college friends, when they see it sitting in my room, mention they like it for the way the weird color makes it stand out from most other packs. Being "made for a women" its size/back-panel is definitely cut down without compromising the internal space of the pack. The shoulder straps are shortened quite a bit as well and do have a slightly different shape compared to my Eiger 36, proving it differs a little tech wise to fit a women compared to a man. Don't have an opinion yet on how the placement of the hip-belt fits anatomically.
