Great pack

I used this pack for the first time in Shenandoah (east coast national park)in November with temperature range from 65 high to 35 low, with an excessive load just to test out the durabilty and weight distribution of this pack. Well it passed the test. I loaded about 50 + lbs worth of gear and it was nicely distributed. I am 5ft8, 150 and the M size was appropriate for my frame. I did need to adjust the straps to get the waist belt to the proper height on my hips. The amount of crap I stuffed into the pack was remarkable. Even with a 50lb + load I had nothing other than trekking poles dangling from outside the pack... pretty remarkable. I had a full 4 season tent with all accesories, pillow, sleeping pad/bag, trekking chair, and tarp in the main compartment. Overall this is a great pack, with personal adjustments needed for an ideal fit, but it will handle the loads and it will perform. It is a solid choice for the money.
