I have used this backpack over the last couple years and like its design, lightweight, and the fact that it just feels comfortable on my back. However, I have had some trouble with the connection of the shoulder strap to the frame. Once I had it pull out of the steel link it connects to and managed to put it back, but now it has completely ripped out. I think the light rubber/vinyl connector needs to be toughened up a little bit, but I have only had trouble with one side.
Other than that I really like the pack.

When you can pull it out of action for a few weeks, send it in for repairs. Lifetime warranties are good that way, and I've always found TNF to be pretty timely about turn over on repairs.
