Great Pack

I use this pack for everything from day hikes to climbing Mt. Rainier. It is a little heavy for it's size, but it is super comfortable, sturdy, and well designed. The back panel zips open, which is genius; I hardly ever open the top any more. It carries well with a small load, and also does fine for multi-day trips. The ski carry system is also much easier to use than others I have tried. If you are not too concerned about weight, and want a sturdy all-around pack, get this.
