For vanity, not mountaineering
No, I do not recommend this product
I’ll be returning this pack having just received it and not climbed with it. There is absolutely no way an experienced mountaineer designed or endorsed this pack and NF has missed the boat on minimal design. The so-called “modular” design appeals to the vane pretenders, but the result is a very expensive, irritating, strappy mess. The clips are so small that any functioning adult would fumble the function in their living room; heaven forbid you try the same with gloves of any sort at minus 20. I would feel more comfortable summiting with a heavy contractor garbage bag with a bit of paracord. It is uncomfortable with no weight. NF- I have been supporting your brand for 40 years- you need to do better.

Worried about strap durability
No, I do not recommend this product
I will be using this product for multiday alpine climbs and backcountry ski descents. Material and features of this pack are great. Love the roll top and modular design. Unfortunately the connection point of the thin straps are not very secure. The walkie talkie retainer on the left shoulder strap pulled off immediately after opening. It seriously makes me question the strength of the other connection points. As long as the other points are actually stronger than my first impression, this pack is going to be awesome. Currently wouldn't recommend to a friend just because I can't yet vouch for its durability.

The best alpine bag.
Yes , I recommend this product
This bag is ideal for alpine environments, including ice climbing and skimo. It features a convenient headrest, two ski straps, an ice axe holder, ample space, and is waterproof, breathable, and crack-resistant.
