Good Stuff.

Ranked #1071 - Weekend Packs (3000-4500 cu in)
November 18, 2008
Earlier last month (October), I took the pack through the Grand Canyon as well through the NY Catskills these past few weekends. The pack is comfortable and expands appropriately if needed. I like the side zipper; I was able to access the contents easily without unpacking everything from the top. In addition, the external 'zippered long pocket' is perfect for my tent and camelpack. Some of my hiking has been in the rain and the pack seems to be water resistant but not moisture resistant hence the need to wrap everything inside is plastic bags (should be doing that anyway). I will purchase the rain cover (read in another post). I have not trail tested other packs of this size but overall, I happy with my purchase. I highly recommend this pack. Enjoy!
