Good Bag

Ranked #247 - Overnight Backpacks (2000 - 2999 cu in)

It's a good bag, spacey, lots of gear loops, tough material, and light. Shoulder straps were a disappointment though, just way too thin and flimsy. I can understand trying to shed weight but forgoing comfortable shoulder straps seems like a poor way to do so. Wouldn't recommend for a general hiking bag.
