I really love this backpack!
I've had this backpack for over 2 years now, and it's still in perfect condition.
Through storms, and many weeks per year of use, even in the winter time.
I've ruined other backpacks within weeks of use.
So with this one I can truly say, you do get what you pay for.

This is an excellent 3 day pack, and one of the roomiest.
After I first got it, I quickly found that you can overload this backpack.
It does hold that much!

It's really comfortable to wear, for extended periods.
The padding is excellent, and is right where you need it.
The shoulder straps and the belt strap are both padded very well, and very adjustable.
This backpack even has a interior spot to carry a water bladder.

The construction of this backpack it top notch, made of all heavy duty nylon, with all oversized zippers.
The bottom of this backpack is rubber coated, so no worries about setting it down out in the woods, or grasslands, no moisture will wick it's way into your pack.

When you have it set up right, it's very easy to carry, and feels comfortable doing it.
This thing is tough, way tougher than I first thought.
This would make a great BOB, and it's perfect for your weekend hiking.
I really like Maxpedition gear, even though it does cost you more, it's worth it!

You can see by the other reviews that this backpack has met over 90% of peoples needs.
It's surpassed what I needed, and still really love this pack!

I'd highly recommend this pack for the weekender, or to any survivalist needing a good BOB pack!
