I'm using this pack everyday to collect creek water samples in several creeks in the Idaho wilderness. Also for one or two day overnight trips. I can stuff a lot into this pack and all the smaller pouches are nice.
It's a comfortable pack and so far seems well constructed.
The only thing I would like to see it a better hydration pack design. It's merely a layer of nylon sewn as a pouch that I put my water bladder into. I wish that it was thicker material to protect the bladder from my gear and/or an insulated wall to keep the water cool.
