Nice lightweight pack

I have yet to thoroughly test this pack but already its a lot more comfortable and lighter than my old pack (made by NZ company Kathmandu). It has a lot of nice features (lots of load stabilizing straps, air access to your back so it doesn't get sweaty, removable 'fanny' pack etc). The only thing that I worry about is that the lightweight fabric will wear out quickly, though it does have a lifetime warranty and is obviously well made. If you are worried about this the more sturdy and rugged Luna may be for you, but you pay for that with the added weight.
