Don't pull the adjustments to hard.

I was a little disappointed with the stitching. But other than that it's a great pack.

great pack for the money

great pack for the money. So far I have not gone on a weekend hike. I've tried it on a couple small hikes , fits good , seems a little small for a long hike. But very good quality for the price , many good features - pockets , everywhere. I just wanted to try backpacking in a cost efficient way and this fit the bill perfectly. Over all fit seemed to work well , good buy !

it's a great backpack with lots of compartments

As with most of the reviews so far, it's a great backpack with lots of compartments. I bought this to climb the Blue Mountain and I had no pressure on my back. Even though I had like 3 gatorade and three bottles of water, it felt light. This is perfect for light to overnight hikes. The straps on the outside makes it easy to stuff in anything and secure it while on the go. This was a great investment.

I was more than happy with it

When the pack arrived I was worried about the amount of padding on the straps and length of the hip pads. But after getting the pack out on the trail, I was more than happy with it. I used it in a Florida swamp in July for a two day hike, carrying about 40 pounds and the load road well and even and I found the pack very easy to carry. The only drawback is the opening on the side pockets are situated in a way that limit the size of things that will fit in it. besides that I was more than suprised with the quality of this pack.

Great company to work with

I can't recommend this bag or this company enough. I got this bag for my husband for his birthday as he is an avid hiker. He used the pack about 2 times and one of the straps used to hold the gear broke so I emailed the company and within a week they had a replacement at my door for him. They were easy to deal with and the bag is amazing!! Nothing but amazing reviews and compliments for this company and product. He has so much equipment in this bag with all the endless pockets it's the perfect bag!

Great for personalizing.

It is lightweight, very sturdily made, has many pockets and compartments, but it is not so wide that it interferes with arm movement. I removed the logo (velcroed) from the chest pocket, also removed the stretchy cord, sewed up one side of that pocket and it perfectly fit my phone. The cord was re-purposed to the right side of the bag for a water bottle holder. There will be a few more adjustments but this bag has great bones. Glad I got it.

Very satisfied

at the low price of this item you cannot complain. its not going to compete with the top of the line models for connectivity and the side pockets could be taller but it does the job its intended to do.

Perfect except for a weak seam, could have been my fault

I love this backpack. My only complaint is that one of the straps pulled out of the seam and this is the first time we packed it. I may have pulled it too tight but it should not have pulled out. I had to sew it because I need the pack for today. I highly recommend this backpack. Gave it 4 stars because of the seam. It has some kinda cool pockets and straps. I only wish that I did not need it today or I likely would have asked for an exchange.

Amazing! Strong, fits a ton and lasts a long time

I Rarely write reviews but I have to say that this bag is amazing. I've had it months now and it's been with me for a 2 week trip in the Galapagos, 8 days in California, 8 days in Ireland and some other shorter trips. It has replaced my suitcase. I've checked it at airports and wore it for hours and hours and it's just been perfect. It amazing how much stuff it fits and how comfortable it feels on your back.
