Great pack for someone who is doing day trips in and out of a camp or using on horseback. It carries all my gear for a normal day out as well as having room for extra layers or rain gear. If I really needed I could easily put a sleeping bag and tent in the load lifter for an extended trip. It is small and light enough to wear on horseback without throwing off balance and fits great in a pack saddle bag until those bags are full of meat! Another hidden feature is that the aluminum load lifters work great as a rest for a stable shot. The heavy canvas that binds the frame can be extended up and provides a quick and easy shooting rest for a situation where you can't lie prone or forgot shooting sticks. Overall great pack and solid product.
