Gear Review
Overall Decent Pack
By Tony Pearson
Ranked #147 - Weekend Packs (3000-4500 cu in)
February 26, 2010
Quality bag, a little on the heavy side for ultralight people (listed Large weight is correct), comfortable to wear. The detachable top isn't really easily detachable. Other than that. GTG!
It will see a lot of use from me.

I think he meant it's not easy to detach. It does detach, but requires a decent amount of time to undo 2 ladder locks and thread each strap back through a couple loops.

The top is definitely detachable
