I have had this pack for about 6 months now, good pack although on the 2nd day into a week long trek the shoulder strap snapped off! I only had about 30 lbs total!! I had some twine and was able to fix it, now it seems to work better than the weird design it had before! Other than that the pack is good, ultra light-weight, but cant handle heavy loads.

Yes, mine snapped on my third trip! I would have expected it to last longer though.
