For the 80 bucks I paid for this bag, it has been pretty nice! Good build quality, lots of volume, and pretty light considering its around 4.25 lbs and carries 80 liters! The only gripe I have is the hipbelt fitment. I weight 165 and have a 32 inch waist and this bag needs to be strapped as far as it will go and a bit further to be comfortable while wearing a t-shirt. If I am wearing a few layers it fits perfectly fully cinched up.
Super happy with this bag. I have loaded it up very heavy and done a lot of training day hikes in preparation for my real trip and am very pleased with it. So far it appears very durable and has all of the different ways to adjust the fit to ensure comfort and ergonomics. I really like this bag and am proud to own it.
Great pack for medium size weight gear. It doesn't have enough frame support for heavy items. Other than that, love all the pockets and access into the pack.
Two trips in Yosemite climbing up to elevation and then descending back into the Valley, I love the packability with access to your sleeping bag, water bottles and even a nice pocket to quickly show your backcountry permit to the Ranger. :)
