I purchased this pack to replace a 12-year-old Jansport daypack that had seen better days. It’s used for wilderness XC skiing and so far I’m quite happy with it. It currently contains an extra base layer and shell layer (tops and bottom) in small compression sacks, a first aid kit, multi-tool, extra socks gloves and hat, a couple energy bars, two freeze dried entrees, an esbit stove, a camp cup and spoon, fire starting stuff, an emergency blanket, a small flashlight, a cell phone, a small radio, and maps. It holds all this gear with room to spare and goes totally unnoticed when on the move – no digging or binding and I’m VERY happy about that. The suspension system is substantial, well-padded, and fairly adjustable. My GPS clips easily to the outside as there are an adequate number of D-rings and fastening points. I haven’t had any problems with the zippers. My only complaint is that you can’t stand the pack on end when it’s loaded. This is a great pack for a great price.
