 Poorly made, not terribly comfortable September 8, 2010
Don Ulin (Bradford, PA)
I bought two of these -- one for myself and one for my son. By the end of my first backpacking trip (second time for his backpack) one of my zippers was broken, his hipbelt buckle was broken, and one of his straps was tearing out of the pack. It was no fun finishing the trip with a broken hip belt.
Another problem was that the straps tended to slip, so we frequently had to stop to adjust them, and it was hard getting the whole thing comfortable. These packs are widely available for around $100, so I don't know who would pay $220. Either way, I would recommend getting a good namebrand pack, like a Gregory, Lowe, or Osprey. You'll pay a little more now, but it will last for a long, long time, saving you a lot of money in the long run and perhaps some nightmares on the trail.

I haven't backpacked in years, however, I hike weekly. I was a little apprehensive initially, however the backpack was structured very well and has many straps , buckles, ergonomic adjustments that made it possible to get a good comfortable fit. It even has a rain fly, hydration pack storage & cell phone carrier right on the front strap. Alot of thought was put into this pack. I backpacked overnight,4 miles up in 100 degree heat as a test run,it was difficult with a pack on, but I am planning a 17 mi hike to Sierras very soon here in the fall where I can really put this pack to the test. I would recommend this pack to anyone!
good value for a backpack under $100 April 23, 2010

Good value for a backpack under $100.00.
Nice pack for the occasional backpacker.
Good quality construction, all my items for a 4 day outing pack in the pack very nicely. Good adjustments on the straps.
With the money I saved on this backpack, I can use what I saved to replace my tent with a lighter model.
I love this pack!!!
 Solid pack at a very reasonable price April 19, 2010

I was very pleased with this pack on arrival. The pack is easily adjustable to a variety of torso sizes. It has plenty of room and fits nicely on my average height but more than average girth. If someone has a really small waist size then I may be a little concerned with the belt size however I think there is a little more range than suggested by other reviewers. I had a companion try this on with a 34 in waist and he had a nice fit and could snug up more if needed.
All the access is via a top load that provides about 10 or so liters of additional space if needed or via the bottom access for the sleeping bag compartment. In the main compartment I am able to fit my 3 person trail tent, and all my clothes, food and other supplies for a 4 day/3 night backpacking trip through the mountains for all but winter conditions. I am actually able to pack all my gear within my pack so nothing is exposed externally. If you have an ultra light/ultra compressible bag + a compact camping pad it is easily possible to get the bag and pad into the space together. In fact, I am able to fit my all of the following into the sleeping bag compartment without issue:
Lafuma Warm n' Light 600g Sleeping Bag (Orange/Grey, 40-Degree, Regular, Left Zip)
Therm-a-Rest ProLite Plus Mattress
Sea to Summit Dry Lite Towel (XS, SM, MD, LG or XL)
Light My Fire Deluxe MealKit
There are only a few eternal pockets: two mesh water bottle pockets 1 on each side, one top pocket on the main compartment cover flap and one rope pocket on the back of the pack that is where all the compression straps are attached to. Nevertheless this appears sufficient for being able to have your fast access items available to you.
The integrated rain fly is a nice addition and is easy to deploy and works really well in my initial testing.
The only two issues I have with the bag at present is that it is a little heavy (5+ pounds empty) and the waist belt can be a bit difficult to cinch down as tight as I want it. Not much I can do about the former and for this price it is quite reasonable, but for the latter I found that if I tighten it a little more unfastened and then fastened belt it worked.
All in all a solid pack for the price. I will be heading off on my first 4 day/3 night trip with this pack in two weeks and will update this review then based on my experience using it in the field.
Great value for the price ! October 27, 2009

I purchased this about 5 months back and did a 25 day Europe trip with this. I have to say I am very satsfied with this backpack specially for the price that I paid for it. Its very heavy duty (I was carrying almost 16 - 18Kg). From my past experience with a variety of other backpacks, I see a lot of strengths in this one, for example:pockets and straps at convinient locations, easy to carry camping equipment, a very strong back support,light weight etc. Yes, just like others have mentioned, its important that your waist size if not less than 31-32. I was 31.5 when I started the trip and eventually lost weight in the trip, so the waist belt sat a little loose toward the end of my trip. Overall, I would strongly recommend this for anyone who wants a light yet high-performing backpack for multi-purpose use.
