I bought this backpack about a year and a half ago. I've been backpacking since I was a kid and have used external frame packs and internal frame packs. I've always liked external frames because you can strap stuff to the outside of them, tie things to the frame and they're really easy to organize. I like that a lot. I've also always loved how comfortable and stable internal frames are.
This pack is truly the best of both worlds. The top and front loading feature is really cool. I love that I can just unzip the front of the pack when I get to camp and grab whatever I need while all my friends with their internal frames are pulling everything out to find what they want. So it's very organizable, and very easy to access.
It is VERY comfortable. I have loaded this thing up with quite a bit of weight, but it always balance really well on my back and the straps and hip belt are shaped and padded really well.
Bottom line is, I love this pack and recommend it. Highly.
