I had several issues with it and returned it before using it. The specs say the waist belt fits from 32 to over 50-inch waists. My waist is 32", and with the belt tightened as small as it could go, I could pull it down to my ankles. Most people I see on remote trails are more my size, rather than having an over 40-inch waist. Also, the belt is close to 6" high. That's way too much. And the back padding goes all the way from the waist to the top of the shoulder straps and is quite wide. If I were to hike with this on a hot day, it seems like I would overheat from all the padding. It felt like I was putting on a winter coat. And the pack itself was unnecessarily narrow. It seemed more like an overnight pack than something that I would use on a 2 or 3-week trip.
