The North Face Plasma 30 Backpack - 1830 cu in
trekking in the rainy season

I have to say the bag I replaced with the Plasma 30 was my all time favorite bag, so it’s hard to give it a 5, but we shall see how it goes. The raincover as what sold in me in what I felt was the only point lacking in my last pack (it was a Solomon that was stolen out of my friends car). The Plasma 30 looked similar and had similar specs. It's a great on-the-move bag that you can cram with stuff. For some reason, when I read the description I thought there was another pocket or two which is where my apprehension lies, although I stand by my 4 rating. Having only the big compartment and a smaller mess on the outside gives you the space for things like sweaty gym clothes, quick access to a raincoat and things of that nature, but traveling through Asia as I am it doesn't really leaves things out in the open.
Other than that, it's great durable and comfortable as hell when you're wearing it for long periods of time.
