This pack isn't super burly. It's meant for casual backpackers who go out in mild weather and treat their gear nicely. My buddy had a smaller version that we used for backpacking around Europe. It worked great for that too, although some of the seams started busting apart by the end of our two-month trip. If you use and abuse your gear, take it into harsh conditions, AND expect it to last for years - I'd invest in something burlier.

Hey Phil, this pack is cheaper because BackCountry is having their Cyber Monday sale.
