Anyone looking for a relatively light, water resistant, durable backpack that would allow them to pack their house on the trail would be more than happy with this bag. Although, I do understand the complains about the materials/zippers being difficult to work with. Give it a little break-in time and the material should soften up. Also, it doesn't come with a detachable lumbar back which is always nice for those short trips away from base camp. Other than that it's sweet pack. If you're shopping around take a look at the Osprey Argon 85. It comes with all the bells and whistles the Primero comes with plus the lumbar pack and a removable hydration blatter! It costs a little more though, but it's an Osprey! Check it out! Happy hiking!
