I've used this pack for multi-day treks. It's a useful size and generally well designed. Things I would improve are a better strap management system to contain the multitude of adjustment straps especially the waist strap which requires adjustment every time you add or take off a layer; use a stronger back and side web material which has already started to stretch; and add a panel to separate the lower sleeping bag area from the main compartment. Overall still a very good and versatile pack.
