I bought this pack to go along with me on a 5 day trip to Cumberland Island GA. It far exceded my expectations on this trip. First it doubles as a stuff sack: it is perfect for your sleeping bag or your clothes. It is light weight and carrys well. The pull top closing system is simple, fast, and effective. This pack does not have and back padding, I did not find this to be a problem as I had my Camel Back to pad my back. I carried it all day on a 10 mile hike with a rain jacket, water filter, lunch, 1st aid kit, and Camel Back with no problem. By the end of the trip everyone was asking where to pick one up.
