Great Pack

Ranked #175 - Weekend Packs (3000-4500 cu in)
July 14, 2008
I'm a small person (5'4", 105 lbs)and this pack fit me very well. Just took it on a 3-day trip loaded with fishing and camping gear and it handled it all. Very comfortable. When considering my purchase, I was balancing capacity for the kind of trips I had planned with a tendancy to overpack and my ability to carry the load. I have an 8-day wilderness trip planned; that will give it (and me!)the test. Only wish it had more side pockets. The stretchy dual-access pockets are nice, but stuff could fall out and I'd like at least one good-sized zippered pocket. The removal top has great storage and can be used as a fannypack. Nice roomy sleeping bag compartment; I put my big, warm bag in a compression sack and was able to get it in the compartment. I'd recommend this pack to any serious woman hiker.
