Gregory Whitney 95 Backpack - 5309-6285cu in
Not the Biggest Fan

Like many other reviewers have said, if you're not careful, the hipbelt might break. I've had two hipbelts fail on me so far, one after 50+ miles with only about a 40 pound load. I also am not a fan of Gregory's attempt at ice axe loops as they're weak, but this pack wasn't really made for mountaineering purposes. Besides those things, this pack is pretty burly and monstrous in its size. I've beaten this pack around and it still looks new. But for now, I'm going to stick with Opsrey.
