Ranked #432 - Weeklong Packs (Over 4500 cu in)

I work at an outdoor goods store and we dont sell this particular pack but by the looks of it and what its made of its meant more for ice climbing and mountaineering and such. I could be wrong but im not quit the expert. I'm looking for a pack for myself and like the Kelty Red Cloud 6650 but I do backpacking in the summer and i was wondering if this pack is a bit much for summer use alone.

It depends on what the summer weather looks like. If it's rainy, I'd say this is perfect (although a little big)
