While it's true that the fabric is somewhat difficult to manipulate because it's hard, I think it is a very quality bag that won't tear easily. Even my ice axe couldn't tear it. The pack makes carrying loads easy as it diverts the weight to your hips and the X-frame really follows the shape of your back. There are some few minor things however: the plastic where the strap meets the softer shoulder strap should have been two inches higher as it now pushes in your chest when you carry loads of +15 kilo. Secondly, the foam around your hips should have had a butterfly-shape so that it would follow the contours of your hips even better. But all in all, I really loved the pack cause it made my trekking very comfortably. So if you need a pack that is really big and that needs to be able to withstand wear and tear; don't look further!
