Backcountry Access Stash Alp55 Backpack - 3356cu in
Light duty and can't take a beating

At first this pack was great; light, lots of room, good storage, good hydration system, and comfy. Unfortunately after a year it is destroyed. All the cheapo zipper strings have come off (one ripped off the first day of use) and there are numerous holes in the light yet fragile material. Perhaps with a more gentle owner who also does not rock climb it would hold up better, but in my mind it is not a good value for what you pay (which is quite a lot).
