I have not used this backpack to climb any mountains or do any day hiking. What I have used it for is to lug all my various stuff as I flew from Germany to Texas and then to Iraq. It is great. I use the top compartments for my electronic gear(plugs/cords/adaptors/etc...) and the main body serves as a nice catch all for my books, portable ipod speakers,and other gear. It really is also very easy on my back and it fits to me snugly and I barely feel the weight of the material in the backpack.

Not all of us are gear-heads. Good for you for finding a pack that helps you travel and organize. i am happy that this pack can aid me in both urban travel and those random camping trips. Can you fit an extra pair of sandals or sneakers in addition to your boots?
