Think long term investment

Expensive? Yeah, but this is an investment you cannot afford to miss out on. Arcteryx packs are rivaled by no one when it comes to comfort and suspension. The pack itself does run a little heavier than other packs --- but the suspension makes it a moot point. You do not fatigue from a poor fitting pack or a load that transfers all over your torso.... I've had that happen with other packs. You'll need to get used to a top loader if you have not used one -- but they force you to simplify and put thought into the way you pack. This pack is an all around winner. You cannot lose with it. It will run you some dough --- but you should have it forever.
