Okay, this pack just arrived. IT IS THE HERCULES, THE BOSS, THE EPITOMY of a larger scale pack. I bought it for my husband for our expedition to New Zealand next year and I have never been more proud of myself after seeing this thing. It looks amazing, it's super sturdy and the room is ridiculous. We researched for the most comfortable pack of this size out there and this was the big winner. With my 5000cu in pack and him carrying this, we are well covered for a two week run. I've heard nothing but great things about this bag, so I'll for sure post more after he's taken it out. Great price for an amazing pack.

Heather, I was concerned with this pack not being large enough. My wife and I are planning a big backpacking trip soon and she will not go for extended hikes without a fullsize air mattress taken along. So I was after a pack large enough to carry that plus all our needed gear for a few days out, looks like I would have no problem with this one. Thanks for your review I'll definitely reconsider.
