Comfortable, stable, functional.
Yes , I recommend this product
Only used once so far for a 10 mile excursion with 4,500 feet of elevation gain- after the first few miles and a few thousand feet up, I was sold. The padding is extremely comfortable even with close to 30 pounds in the pack. With wind gusts approaching 50 miles an hour at the summit of Mt Madison, (NH), this bag felt extremely stable on my back even while jumping and hoping from rock to rock, no sliding/swaying. I especially love the front zip open feature that gives you access to the main compartment. Its absolutely perfect for quick access to your items when you're on a time crunch. Zippers feel rugged. Overall materials used seem tough. The built in rain cover is an added bonus. Extremely satisfied initially.

Good Price for a quality backpack
Yes , I recommend this product
Pretty good backpack, I bought it on sale at the REI outlet. It's not the lightest backpack, but very sturdy, comfortable adjustable straps. I've only taken it out on a 2 night 3 day backpacking trip thus far and it held up well. I haven't had the chance to see if it holds well in the rain, it does come with a rain cover though. Roomy main compartment with access from the front of the pack. I like that it goes from 40L to 60L. This way I can use it on longer trips as well.

Carried everything well
Yes , I recommend this product
Took this camping for the first time. I liked how compact everything carried, but i wish it had more storage pockets. You mostly have two two hip pockets, the two water bottle pockets, and the back stretch pocket. The hip pockets zipper require two hands to use; I had to stop in order to open them and make sure nothing fell out.

Great pack with a few small issues
Yes , I recommend this product
The fit and feel on this pack is phenomenal. The only issue I have is that I can’t reach the side water bottle pouches without taking the pack off. K fixed this with a shoulder pad mounted carrier. The other issue is that the waist strap pouches are not one hand operation as the zippers are a bit stiff. This May correct itself over time. This is a great starter pack and the adjustable means I can hand it off to family member or friends after I upgrade. Over all great value and versatility on this equipment.

One Big Backpack
No, I do not recommend this product
One big backpack with one big compartment with two smaller pouches located on the hip straps. That’s it. Don’t expect to have small compartments for things like a compass, matches, or even a camp life. In this way the bag has its limits. But if you want a backpack with one big compartment, this backpack is made for you.
