Made for a serious backpacker

Here's the deal... I purchased this pack because Mountain Hardwear is a great brand and the price was appealing. Unfortunately this was not the kind of backpack that I needed. After about 2 hours I finally assembled the thing and still didn't have it completely correct. The instructions were terrible and the entire Yoke System in itself was just too complicated. It's a great idea, and if you have the time and patience to set it up correctly, I don't doubt that this pack will be extremely comfortable. However, it appeared that there were a lot of plastic parts, which worried me. I fear that this pack would be susceptible to breaking if not taken care of. If you are planning to hike regular steep climbs and need a pack to fit like a glove that you don't plan to take off frequently, then this pack may be for you. In my case, I chose to return it.
