Great internal frame pack
Likes
I love this bag. The waist band and shoulder straps are comfortable. The frame is rigid enough that I can use the load lifters to take the load off my shoulders. Or by loosening them and tightening the shoulder straps, I can bring as much load as I want onto my shoulders. I like the external pockets that have their own shape, rather than being stretchable fabric against the pack body. The latter are hard to fill once the pack is stuffed. If my trips involved any scrambling or bushwhacking, this is definitely the pack I'd use.
Dislikes
There's no divider for the sleeping bag "compartment", so if you take your bag out of the bottom, everything else will fall to the bottom of the pack. I test-fit this along side a Kelty Trekker 65 (external frame). It was a tough decision, but in the end I decided on the Trekker. The more numerous external pockets and rectangular pack shape made it easier to load and fit all my gear in the external frame pack. I also found the Trekker a little more comfortable on my back.
