not sure, but I have packed it pretty good and i feel that it is extremely sturdy. if you ask me, buy this pack to "golite" and fast pack as opposed to carrying heavy objects.with that being said, it could still carry 25 pounds comfortably i would think - hope this helps!I just got mine a couple weeks ago and took it to the grocery store and filled it up to the top without uncincing the compression system. I got 18 lbs of fluids, 10 lbs of chicken (hehe) and at least another 10 lbs of groceries. As I said, I got all that into the pack without undoing the compression system one bit...so it can handle alot more weight than I think most people give it credit for. However, that much weight in gawdy, heavy camping gear would prolly be overkill. I'm gearing up for the Appalachian Trail and am keeping my pack weight down to 12 lbs. to allow for about 13 lbs of food and water, which is why I went with this pack, to keep my heaviest load days under 25 lbs. As far as how it felt when I crammed it full of groceries...it felt alot better than carrying all those groceries in plastic bags, LOL!!! Overall, I am highly impressed with this pack. It'll be a great ultralite thru-hiking pack!
