I have owned this backpack for one year now, and I have just a minor thing that I would change or add to this bag. That one thing would be the storage on the sides for water bottles etc.. When the bag is packed quite full it is difficult to utilize the pockets easily. But do not let that deter you, it's still an exceptional bag and is only an issue if your bag is very full. Plenty of storage and very comfortable with plenty of room for adjustments. Very good quality materials and craftsmanship. Great job once again ALPS!
Great Pack! I went on a hiking/camp weekend with friends right after I bought this pack. The pack: expands, has a rain cover, easy to adjust to your body, feels lighter than it is, ample room, secure pockets throughout, access from to and bottom, can separate into top and bottom sections, etc... This pack is the perfect balance of quality, efficiency, affordable, and comfort. This is the one you have been searching for.
