This bag is great. It can hold a surprisingly large amount of stuff. It has lots of internal strapping that you can use to cinch down your loads. The sternum strap and hip belt allow you to carry heavy loads with minimal effort. They also secure the bag nicely to your back so it doesn't move around when you run with it on. That material feels extremely durable, and the stitching looks durable as well. It is somewhat heavy for a backpack, but I feel like the heaviness is due to the durable materials it is made of. I would highly recommend this product as a weekend hiking backpack or as a Get-Out-Of-Dodge bugout bag.
