I havent even used this pack yet but was amazed at what i could fit in it. The last pack i used was an 85L Gelert explorer (which i still love) that i used on a 2 day hike at Glacier National Park. That pack total weight for that trip was 75LBS. I probably used a third of the crap i loaded in it and therefore decided to find a midsize pack to downsize and lighten the load for shorter excursions. I am not a minimalist and enjoy my comfort even on short trips. Before i took the tags off i decided to preload this pack. In the sleeping bag compartment alone, i currently have a kelty crestone 1 solo tent, a Karrimorr global traveller 700 sleep bag, a GSI dualist cook set with propane cannister and a msr pocket rocket stove. I also have a Katadyn hiker water filter and a small coleman 3 aa cell lantern. In the main compartment I have preloaded 2 full changes of clothes a waterproof shell, a 3L camelback resovoir( with 1.5L of water) and about 4 pounds of dead wgt to simulate food and miscl items and this pack is still asking for more!!! I havent weighed this load yet but when i slipped this pack on I could'nt believe how comfotable and balanced this pack was on my back!!! Excellent buy at a good price for a pack of this quality.

I've had a difficult time finding a bag that would be comfortable for me as I am only 5"2. This bag adjusts in multiple places so I was able to find the perfect fit for me! I also like it holds a hydration pack and it's big enough to even hold my rope! Awesome bag and definitely worth every penny!

This pack DOES NOT have an adjustable suspension system. The Terra 60 does. I called the North Face and they told me that the information on their web site was a mistake. DO NOT buy this pack without trying it on first.

Otherwise, it seems like a good pack if it fits you. Mine did not.

The pack does what it should. If you want a good priced pack with decent room, this one will not disappoint but neither will it impress. The looks and color selection are pretty cool. It would be better with an adjustable susp. system. Great for the casual camper looking for a good performing weekend pack.

Great use for weekend trips and more, was originally looking at the tera 60 but decided that i wanted to try to start packing lighter and it worked i feel no need to bring so much stuff anymore cause there isn't as much room, makes me feel better about camping! Hammock camping also takes away weight, love this pack!!

This is a great pack for anyone who is looking for something that is durable, adjustable, decent amount of room and that is very comfortable. I recently got to use this pack on a 4 day camping trip. I am someone who packs as light as possible. I prefer not to even bring a tent when I camp, and this pack made it for me. The only down side I found to this pack was the weight. It is almost 4lbs for a 2450cu in pack. I currently also have the GoLite Pinnacle pack as my ultralight backpack and the weight difference is pretty amazing. But, besides that this is a great pack. I would highly recommend it for anyone who is doing overnights or maybe a weekend hike (depending on how you pack).

Picked up this pack before going on a week long trip to Montana. This bag held everything I needed. It's much lighter than the other bag I was interested in and the price was great. This pack only weighs 8 more ounces than my sleeping bag. The only thing I was bummed out about, was that there was no little rain cover hidden close to the back of the sleeping bag compartment. Other than that it has everything you will need.

I have to say, considering the name on this bag, you get way more than what you pay for with this bag. Excellent storage. I just got back from a weekend in Colorado and took everything I needed for my four day trip. I could even carry it on the plane! Plenty of room for everything you need. My only problem was that the water bottle containers were too small for the likes of a Nalgene or one of the Backcountry.com bottles. They would fall out if I bent over too far. But, the adjustments were easy and the pack fit great. No rain cover though.

I was very pleased with this pack. It's made out of stretchy material and has plenty of pockets. Lots of adjustment for good fit. Great buy.

Great pack for those weekend camping trips. Easy access for the sleeping bag at the bottom so you don't have to pull out other gear just to get to it. Numerous pockets to store lot of small thing you may want to get to without unloading stuff. The back support is great. Once the straps are snug the pack stays firm, no movement whatsoever. So far the best pack I have owned.

Great pack for weekend trips, and I plan on using it for my 7-day excursion through Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks...most comfortable pack I've ever worn...and the sleeping bag goes in the bottom compartment, for the guy who said it goes on top.

I took a 17 day trip to greece and I packed enough clothes, and souvenirs in it. I pack light but this pack was comfortable and very effective. I never go on a trip without it.

Took this to Burning Man to hold my clothes and sleeping gear. Held lots of gear, very sturdy, never let me down! Great pack, though I wish I'd bought something larger

pros= i have hiked with this pack so much and have never had a problem, so much can easily be fit into this pack, the shoulder straps and hip straps are comfortable and do not chafe and adjust to a verity of sizes, there are ample lashing straps and out side pockets, large brain for storing maps and such, insane amounts of padding on the straps that make this pack sooo comfortable, water bladder compatible, i dont know if it is advertised or not as a water proof/resistant pack but it keeps water out very well even in harsh down poors, awesome price

cons= the only problem i found was that after a two week long hike on the AT there was a slight tear where the shoulder strap meets the pack this was easily fixed

Such a great price for this pack. Love the pocket selection, and the pack carries gear well and fits nicely once you get it all situated and fit to your body.
