What Is Your Gear Style:
Comfort Driven
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Overall, I think it's a great pack, the suspension is awesome and it fits really well. The only thing I don't like about it is that the frame comes up past my shoulders so I can't wear it when I'm riding a bike because my head hits it.

Durable, Easy to Pack, Good Back Support, Good Padding, Strong Zippers
Best Uses:

What Is Your Gear Style:
Minimalist
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought this pack for my 11 year old son who is a boy scout. This pack is very nice for his needs. Weekend campouts with the scouts. It has just enough space for his sleeping bag (tight fit). You will need a light weight bag and/or a compression sack to get your bag in the compartment. Couple changes of clothes, mess kit and water all fit nicely in main compartment. This is a fairly small pack. If you need lotsa room, this is NOT your pack! However if you need something for quick over nighters, you could do worse. Nice buy for the money.
Nice pack but seemed a bit small

Pros:
Durable, Easy to Pack, Good Back Support, Good Padding, Strong Zippers
Cons:
Not Enough Compartments
Best Uses:
Backpacking, Camping, Short Travel

What Is Your Gear Style:

Comments: This seems like a great pack. Although the quality is excellent as is the harness and "air" suspension, I returned it because it seemed very small for a 35 liter pack. I have other styles in this size and they are notably larger. It could just be the style. The water bottle pockets on the sides are very small and don't even hold a 24 oz bottle let alone a 32 oz Nalgene.
