Great Bag for Winter/Day

By Anonymous Ranked #719 - Overnight Backpacks (2000 - 2999 cu in) October 22, 2007

Loved the bag but returned it for top loader with equivalent capacity - 40L. Basically could not pack as much as I expected. Not even close, but the bag is great for the short - potentially heavy - haul. Great shoulder harnesses and weight distribution when completely full.

One minor drawback of design was the side compression straps interfere with access to side pockets. Getting what you need is a two-step process.

The most unusual feature was where the bag's volume went when compressed. It seemed to sit lower on your back. WIth a personal preference for packing weight high, I was a little disappointed in this.

Could be lack of experience with this type of new gear. It's been a while since I bought a pack.
