Bag seems to be of high quality, I have yet to use it so I may update this review when I have! Very comfortable, one of the better bags I've tried on and couldn't pass up on the price. Four stars only because it isnt very freindly for bigger people. I'm 5'10", 250 pounds and the hip straps do not fit around my stomach, had to place them under instead. Still works, but I wish it had more flexibility.
Bought this for my 13 year old son in early 2023. We did a 5 day hike in Big Bend at the end of March 2023 and it was perfect for him. Great adjustment and load handling. You have to carry all of your water in to the south rim so he had quite a bit of weight going in and the pack loaded and balanced out well for him. He loves it. Heading to Colorado in Mid June for another 6 days.
