Pros: Light weight. Large water bottle pockets. Roomy sleeping bag compartment. Three separate pouches in the lid. Camera pouch on waist belt. Double stitched on all seams. Daisy chain on pack to lash gear to . torso size adjustment takes less than 10 seconds. Waist belt and shoulder straps adjust easily and do not slip like other packs that I own.

Cons: Color. Need more choices in color.

Other Thoughts: I have backpacked up to 3 nights at a time with this pack and have been very satisfied with it's performance. I would have to say that it is a challenge to minimize my gear to the point that I can carry what I need for winter treks in this pack. I have become somewhat of a minimalist hiker since purchasing this pack. I enjoy my miles more and fuss with my pack less. I highly recommend this pack and so do my friends who have all tried to take it away from me.
