Ranked #310 - Overnight Backpacks (2000 - 2999 cu in)
July 21, 2009
I've taken this pack from Mexico to Canada; hiking, flying, and floating and have yet to even frown at my purchase.
It fits comfortably, the padding is excellent even when weighted. Plenty of space, yet fits in overhead compartments and under seats. No "hot spots" develop after miles on the trail. Great material and stitching. I would recommend to anyone.
