Very comfortable

I love this pack. I also have a tendency to bring way too much stuff with me.
The GoLite Lite-Speed -3000 pack fits me incredibly well. I use it as a daypack even though it is large for that purpose. It fits my back/shoulders and carries the loads better than my more appropriate size daypack. I can fit my rain shells (tops and bottoms) and a warm fleece and my lunch and camera and other essentials and feel more comfortable than if I jammed it all in a smaller pack.
Before you mock my overpacking, let it be known that as a backpackin' mama I tend to throw stuff for the kiddos in my pack, too. The extra space really helps.
I like that it has a collapser so if I am carrying a very small amount, it doesn't flop around at all.
I really like the little pockets on the waistbelt. Handy little things are perfect for a power bar, chapstick, tissues and other small items.
It isn't big enough for me for multi-day trips, but it is great for the way I use it. I use a GoLite Galaxy (now out of production) for multi-day trips. I love it, too.
I have had people on the trail ask about it. I have nearly had to fight to get it back a few times. It is so comfortable!
