 Top load is awful September 9, 2008
I just traveled around the world with this backpack for about 10 weeks, and I didn't really appreciate having it around. As a backpack, it's well made - good amount of room, relatively comfortable load bearing, solid construction - I didn't have anything break the entire time aside from a clip that fell off from somewhere (not sure where, never put it back) around the halfway mark.
The big problem with it, however, is that the only way to pack and unpack the backpack is through the top of the backpack, an opening that's maybe 15 in. wide. As a result, it becomes very difficult once it's packed to take stock of or access items packed near the bottom. A few of the friends I was traveling with had backpacks that had a zipper that went all around the front of the backpack so that the front opened as a flap and the pack could be loaded like a suitcase. I highly recommend finding one of these - this may sound like a small issue, but it was a constant headache over the course of the trip.
In terms of what I was able to fit inside: three pairs of long pants, two dress shirts, two pairs of shorts, 7-8 t-shirts, 3 polos, 7 pairs of boxers, 5 pairs of socks, 2 button up shirts (all in the main pocket). In the sleeping bag pocket I managed to fit a pair of shoes and a pair of flip flops (no sleeping bag, obviously). In the various side pockets I had no trouble packing my toiletries. The clothing was very tight, I think I probably packed in as much as I possibly could have, so use that to judge the size as best you can.
In all honesty, if I were doing my travels again, I probably would have just taken a good, light rolling suitcase. Walking around with a heavy backpack is much more cumbersome unless you're using this for hiking/camping. For simply traveling, it's hard to beat the convenience and space offered by a suitcase. I think the backpack tends to get used too often simply because it marks you as a "backpacker" rather than necessarily offering much by way of increased convenience while traveling.
 Great Pack, I'd say 4.5 out of 5 June 9, 2008

I bought this pack for an internship that I am currently doing. It is an awesome color, and I'm really happy that it came with a rain fly. It has enought space to carry more than what I need, and a ton of little side pockets for things like bug spray or socks. You really can't beat the price either. I haven't seen many packs that are this big and they are still much more expensive. I love that it has a bunch of straps so that you can attach things that would fit ackwardly inside to the outside. In addition to all this the top extends to fit a lot more. Overall, this is a great pack. I only had one problem with it and that was that it got a small hole in a pocket the first week i had it. Other than that, the pack is awesome and I love it.

I love this bag, I went out in the wilderness for 4 days and this bag was perfect. It fit all of my gear, and when I had it on my back it didnt feel like I really was carrying anything. I do recommend this, plus you will not find a bag of this quality for cheaper.
This is a great pack May 10, 2008

I purchased this pack for the occasional camping trip and I have absolutely no regrets. Yes, there are alot of little straps and ties, but I'm in the camp of having too many is better than having too few. I am 5'9" and I was good to go without having to make any height adjustments. Despite some concerns from other reviewers regarding comfort, I've found it surprisingly comfortable and wouldn't mind using this to hike-in a few miles fully loaded. I really like the placement for a hydropack, and while the sleeping bag compartment is snug, it works fine. You can also unzip the bottom compartment and just make it one big enclosure if you prefer. I didn't have to use it, but the rain cover is a nice touch. This pack looks, feels, and handles like a much more expensive pack, and especially for this price, I would definitely recommend it to others.

I have used this for two weekend outing sense I purchased it and have had great luck with it. The only issue in the compartment for the sleeping bag is a bit small, I can get mine to fit, a mummy, but is tight. The assorted pockets and compartments have served me week and and so no issues using this pack the summer when I will be living out of it for a week. Luckly I have not had reason to us the rainfly yet as I have been able to bring it into my tent both trips.
