Right now, the TNF Catalyst 60 pack is on sale for $195 (50% off, regularly: $388.95). The sale price puts it below the cost of this pack, and the more comfortable Catalyst 60 would be darn near perfect for a 3-day hike--or if packed right, a week-long jaunt. Don't get me wrong, the Prophet is an excellent rucksack, but the Catalyst and Primero lines are more suited for extended stays on hiking trails.
