I’ve taken this backpack to two different 30 day trips. And I have been through every single situation, terrain (minus snow), 10+ flights (a few made made check in bag) camped, hiked, walked through beaches, visited hostels. Hours in airports and this backpack is A beast. I stuff the heck out of this bag. It packs like a 50L. The top most pocket is so big. Can fit a toiletry bag and more. Still looks new, quality is superb. Passport fits perfectly in hip pockets and snacks and earbud case. Very light and comfortable. My bag was roughly 25-40 pounds at all times. Perfect for long trips (10+ days)
Comfortable fit, flexible options. One of the helpful features are the larger side pockets - esp compared to my Osprey Talon 22. Top compartment is accessible and also allows for a fairly quick snowshoe on and off. Bottom compartment stays accessible and the straps on bottom allow you to carry a pad if you wish. The fit and comfort are excellent for me - in part because I bought it in-store and had help with the many adjustments. Although I bought it for the large capacity for winter (puffy, extra clothes, etc.) I have used it in non-winter conditions and found the hydration bladder to work well - have to snake the hose out the back, just follow the marks.
Great pack for hiking, backpacking, traveling, and overall anything you need to fit lots of with small space around you.. fits on an airplane overhead as well fully packed
I had this pack over a year now and it’s been perfect. 38 liters fits the perfect amount of stuff I need and the fit and comfort of the park has worked great. The other thing that’s not the best is that the side pockets aren’t the most flexible for fitting two/a larger water bottle
I’ve used this on multiple trips. It is easy to get your stuff in and out of. It is heavy, but that’s fine. Very comfortable very well. Hold a lot of gear. All the straps make it very useful and the lid can hold a bear canister very nicely. No complaints it works really well. The opening doesn’t really allow you to access things as shown in the picture.  it’s somewhat art which just besides that it works fine very very durable.
So far very impressed with the pack. Very customizable set up for various frame builds. There are numerous adjustments to allow for securing small to very bulky loads. Pack maintained air flow to the back area which was noticeable and appreciated I’ve only taking on (1) 14 mile hike with approx 40lbs as I’m training for Bataan heavy division with my son I will use it for that 26.2 mile Journey Frame seems rigid enough for designed weight and hip belt is comfortable. Thus far no complaints at all. Would recommend looking at this pack if it’s a contented for what you need
I used this backpack while walking the Portuguese Way and it was the perfect size for me. I was able to pack everything I needed for the trip.
Solid product but 1) it is super heavy at 4+ pounds and 2) its pretty uncomfortable
I’m pleased with this ruck. I have only used it once. So far so good.
Now here is a day pack that knows how to carry the load.
