Light Pack

Just took this pack on a 3 day backpacking trip in Yosemite and it was super comfortable. The suspension system made the weight of my pack disappear.

A great Lightweight option.

I love the new ventilation system that allows better air flow and prevents a sweet back. It fits like a glove and has easy access to your gear with ample pockets.

Great pack, highly recommend

took this pack to the Grand Canyon for a week. I carried 30 lbs on my back and barely felt it. The pack is very adjustable, which came in handy when I wanted to shift the weight up, down, or closer to my back. The aerolon suspension did an excellent job of shifting the weight to my back and hips and off of my shoulders. You can loosen all the straps and undo the hip belt and the pack still sits on your hips thanks to the grip on the lumbar support. The day pack/hydration sleeve is great once you get to camp and just want to hike around and check out the scenery without lugging an entire pack around. Haven't had a need for the rain cover yet but it's nice that they include it.
Dislikes
I carry water bottles not a bladder. The right side mesh pocket has a front entrance to make water bottle retrieval easier without removing the pack. It's easy to retrieve but sometimes difficult to get the bottle back in. This is certainly not an issue worth taking a star off for and not an issue at all if you like to carry s bladder.

Great weekend pack
Likes
This pack has a ton of features and plenty of space for long weekend trips. Comes with a summit bag that acts as storage for the hydration bladder. The suspension is well designed and comfortable carrying loads. My weekend packout with food, water and gear runs about 34 pounds but felt lighter and stayed in place thanks to the design of padding and hip belt.
Dislikes
Webbing and straps could be a little sturdier, no issues but worried about wear and them holding up over time.

Comfortable Backpack
Likes
I’ve had Osprey packs over the past 20 years. They have never been that comfortable, but I stuck with them because I knew of their quality. Decided to make a change due to the weight of the Paragon 58. So glad that I did, it’s probably the most comfortable pack I’ve owned.
Dislikes
Hard to find anything I don’t like about it. The side pockets and the hipbelt pockets could be a little larger.

Could not be happier. Took it out of the box on Thursday, hiked with it on Friday. Needed no adjustment. Carries weight well; weight distribution beautifully perfection. Has all the core requirements and lots of unique accessories. So, so, so Versatile

Dislikes
At this price, absolutely none. Has my name in it. No faults.

Perfect size, lightweight backpack
Likes
This thing is great. I liked the fit way better than the Ospreys. Much more minimalist style. The 58 is the perfect size for few day get a ways. This is my favorite pack that I've tried.
Dislikes
The only downside is that the outer mesh pocket is very soft and tends to rip easy when you throw the pack down on rocks or a hard surface.

Great Pack

Bought this pack for my 14yo Boy Scout son. He has used the pack on several long hikes and says it is super comfortable and cool looking. I found the price, with the included reservoir, to be cheaper than elsewhere without the reservoir.
Dislikes
None so far.
