50th Anniversary Backpack

I like the pack's layout, the large usable side pockets are much nicer than the odd shaped ones on the Kelty Tioga models. I'd prefer a third on the front replacing the mesh pocket. My scales didn't show the pack to be any lighter than the older Tioga model, don't know why other reviews rave on six pounds being lighter than most other external models. On a test hike the waistbelt and other adjustable straps frequently required readjustment often enough for me to decide to sell the pack. My other brand backpack always held its strap settings. I've never had a waistbelt slip loose so much. It felt like the straps are teflon coated :-)
