Well when you give a 5 star pack a 5 star rating, noone sees it. I do my research, I have about 7 packs right now and have had many more. I use them daily, hard. This pack is a big winner. The way they organized the access and zippered pockets is outstanding. Very easy to use. Marerials are the best at the reinforced spots and the main body. Compression straps keep it tight. Happy times... Initially I hesitated at $160 but now realize years from now I will still be using this great pack (I have an old dakine still in daily use as well holding 50-100 lbs that's 15 years old but other packs average about 1 year before they're worn out or fail). I love it when people know what they're doing and we get dialed in quality.
