By Wilderness Jedi from Colorado on 08/26/2008 Pros: Durable, Good Back Support, Strong Zippers, Waterproof Best Uses: Backpacking, Camping, Extended Travel, Weekend Trips Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Great Pack! I have used it on 2 backpacking trips so far and I love this pack. It trasfers the load to your hips wonderfully. I would highly recomend this pack.
great travel back pack/so-so camping pac By jos.k from chicago, IL on 08/25/2008 Cons: Not Enough Compartments Best Uses: Extended Travel Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Purchased this pack about a year ago and finally took it on an extended camping vacation in Michigan.
The lack of internal structure, bad ventilation and lack of outer pockets made it so-so on and four day backpacking trip. It was pretty roomy and there were some nice loops to hang gear off of but not terribly comfortable on 5 mile plus hikes.
I did use this on a trip to Crete (Greece not Illinois) and it is an ideal way to get your stuff from place to place--as opposed to lugging a suitcase or duffel.
But for extended hikes with a weighty load and that sort of thing I would recommend a pack with more structure and comfort.
Hope this helps
By Trail Blazer Tom from El Dorado, CA on 05/07/2008 Pros: Detachable Day Pack, Durable, Good Back Support, Good Padding Cons: Difficult to Pack, Not Enough Compartments Best Uses: Backpacking, Camping Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I go on a 7 day backpacking trip every year in Yosemite. My wife got me this bag, and I love the back support. It contours perfectly. I wish it had more compartements inside so that I didn't have to strap everything to the outside of the pack. But that's the only thing I dislike. Last year my back was killing me the whole trip, so at least I know that I wont be dealing with that this year. It's worth not haveing the all the extra goodies as long as I can save my back.
