Definitely enjoyed the pack. Perfect for a
brief encounter. I'd recommend the pack to anyone camping/hiking/hunting for 3 days to
a week. This is what I have crammed in mine--- A 10'-16' tarp ... 3 750mL Nalgene Bottles... a pan... 124 piece medical kit... 2 large spools of hemp rope... 2 changes of clothes... a bed roll...sleeping bag... flashlight...headlamp...multiple knives and other miscellaneous tools... 3 oranges and
3 apples... 6 cans of CHUNKY soup

I purchased this backpack before living in the middle east for 4 months while going to school there, and I have no idea how I would have survived with just my school bag. We went on many 4 day trips (some food provided) and this bag was perfect. I had plenty of room and it was very durable. If you DON'T roll the top correctly it will start to tear and pull, but I caught myself early and its perfect. The true test came when I lived out of it for 10 days in Egypt. I had everything I needed in there (again food provided, but i did bring some with me) with room to spare for other things. I like that the zippers are hard to open b/c that means its hard for water to get in. I dropped it in a river accidentally with my camera in it, and after about 10 seconds,everything was still fine! If you can pack light, you can go for days living out of it.

We bought the small and medium models. I really appreciated the light weight at 19,000 ft. The included pack cover comes in handy in the forest. The hydration pack pocket fits a 3 liter bladder. No problems with workmanship. The belt, chest and belt clips look flimsy but they've stood up for 9 months, now. The external cords and gear loop were handy for stowing trekking poles on gentle pitches. The cords also compress the pack when carrying smaller loads for day hikes in the Shenandoah and overnights on the AT. Drawback - single main chamber makes packing strategic.

I recently purchased the Skareb 40 size M so this is slightly larger then the small and I found the sizing to be just fine. I suggest is you have questions about your sizing specific issues go with the M instead of the L.
One of the problems I did find though was pics. I must have looked at over 10 different sites plus the North Face and could only find the basic same 3 images for the and the Skareb 55 (the bigger brother of this pack). For me this was solved very quickly by the staff. The gearhead I talked to online in the chat had a buddy in the warehouse who also had this pack.. and a digital camera. He was so kind as to take several shots of the pack my choice, then emailed them personally!
That is what made or broke the order for me. The super service. But alas I got screwed in the end and charged double shipping for me international order and had to pay double customs!
As for the pack well the 40 size M for me is enough I pack out pretty light but would be hard pressed for a tent and food. This is a hostel goers dream though!
