Great pack
Super light, very comfy, doesn't make that irritating squeaking noise of some packs, and seems like a black hole when it comes to packing gear. What's not to love!??!
Great pack
New to backpacking, 3 day trip and my shoulders felt fresh as a daisy the whole time.
Excellent design
I’ve been on the search for the past year to find the right backpack for the right price and I finally found it. It’s the perfect size and I was able to cut a lot off my base weight by switching. I’m especially a big fan of the stretchy mesh pocket on the back and the nice big hip belt pockets. My favorite part though is that I can easily retrieve my water bottle without taking the pack off or having to strain my arm. It’s a very good design. So far I am very happy with this purchase!
This pack is so well designed. There are so many loops for customization, and so much storage. I have packed it with my normal backpacking gear, and I still have room that I usually don't with my Gregory 58.
Still great, but less durable
My 2nd gorilla, seems the older models were made better. Got rip on my first hike with this new one :(
