I have an older version of the Red Wing. It's the Red Wing 2900 from a couple years ago. I am posting this review because of how pleased I have been with the pack over the years. It is every well built. The stitching is very solid and I can even pick it up by the top handle when its fully loaded and it doesn't feel like the handle is going to rip off. It's incredibly roomy and fully loaded I can still get it to fit as a carry on in the upper bins. I recently used it for a 9 day trip around Argentina and it was perfect. It's comfortable to carry with a decent amount of adjustment options. The side pockets are large enough to fit a 16 oz Nalgene bottle. I will say it is slightly heavier than some other packs, but its because its built more sturdy. Plus, I am sure the newer versions are lighter than my older version. Overall, I have been very pleased with my Red Wing and would recommend the pack.
