This is a totally decent backpack, but make sure to inspect yours right away. Mine came with a few issues.- First, the waist belt range of 28"-51" is completely untrue. As measured, at its LONGEST adjustment, it is no more than 44". Where they got 51", I have no idea. I have adjusted the straps as loose as they will go and it is most definitely only 44", so if your waist is bigger than that you may want to consider something else.- Second, the padding on the adjustable torso has been sewn completely wonky and unevenly. Like, not even close to being even.- Third, there are other unevenly-sewn seams on the front, as well one of the compression straps at the bottom has been sewn on too far to the left.- Finally, the inner draw cord for the main compartment is already frayed and the spring-loaded tension clip is broken on arrival. Now, none of these issues make this pack unusable, but for costing almost $100 (reg. price) I expected better quality.Aside from the above mentioned issues, this pack seems to be halfway decent, especially if you're just getting into backpacking (like me), not wanting/needing an ultralight pack, or you just don't want to pay out the wazoo for something else. I made sure to double check ALL the seams (as other reviewers have mentioned shoulder straps tearing off) and everything seems to be good, and the actual materials used feel plenty robust. Stuffed with all my gear, this pack feels fairly comfortable and it's easily adjustable enough to get the weight on your hips and off your shoulders. There are plenty of pockets and straps for gear storage - the top actually has two zippered pockets (one is accessible from the outside, one from the inside) for storing things you need to get to quickly/easily, and the bottom "sleeping bag" compartment has a zippered divider that allows you to access it from inside the main compartment of the pack if you like. There is one pocket on the waist belt (right side), which is nice, but if it were just a tiny bit bigger, it would be better. It barely fits a bandana, a buff, and my headlamp. Also, would it have blown the profit margin if they had included a second pocket on the left? It would be nice to be able to store all the little things that you would want access to without having to stop and take the pack off, like - sunblock, snacks, electrolyte powders, etc. The one pocket IS nice, but two would be twice as good. I plan on putting this pack through its paces in the Colorado wilderness, so I'll update this review in a couple months with my thoughts.EDIT - 8/30 - After using this pack several times, I have to remove one star and bring it down to 3. This pack is comfortable enough, but the mesh side pockets aren't well‐thought-out. If you carry the typical 1 liter Smart Water bottles, they fit fine, but you'll need to tuck the tops under the side compression straps to keep them in, as the pockets aren't very deep. They are also placed in such a way that you cannot reach back and grab a bottle for a drink. You have to stop and take the pack off, which is a pain in the butt, in my opinion. Sure, you can use a water bladder inside, but that's a pain to fill when on the trail, and also makes it difficult to monitor how much water you're drinking.Between the apparent lack of quality control, the one small belt pouch, and this pocket issue, I wish I had purchased something else. This pack will get retired VERY soon.
