I've ran this pack several days a week now for 4 months and have no complaints. Use it to carry saddle gear and sticks and pack whitetails out. Took it 9 days straight hunting the mountains during rifle season and it worked great. I wanted the pop up 28 but it was out of stock and I was concerned it would be too big in the tree but it's not bad at all and allows room for extra layers in late season or rain. If you like your gear to be real compartmentalized it may not be the best pack for you, but if you want a comfortable capable pack this one is great.
