Thumbs Up:
- The feature I like the most about this is easy access points to your pack. No matter where you stuffed it, you can get to it in matter of seconds. Good for organization-freaks as well as messy-campers!
- I have used this pack in snow, in heavy rain as well. I use Gregory rain cover, but even without it, it provided pretty good waterproofing.
- Adjustable shoulder straps are very comfortable and I didn't feel the pack even when I was carrying a week-long worth stuff in it.
Thumbs Down:
- Side water-bottle holder is not convenient. My Nalgene kept falling out of it and I had to just stop using it.
Overall:
But overall, I am pretty happy with this pack and I definitely recommend this to any serious hiker. It's pricy of course, but you get what you paid for.
