Great value/all-around pack

This pack offers a tremendous value. It is as close to bombproof as you'll need in most cases, but has the great option that you can easily remove the hip-belt, framesheet and lid and you'll something much lighter. Good wrap-around compression straps as well.
My only complaint is one of personal preference; I'd love to add:
- external side pockets
- external shovel/probe pockets
- panel loading functionality
At 20% off right now, it is a no brainer. If you are willing to spend more money, I'd go with a Mystery Ranch pack.
