Way awesome pack for the real hunter in the mountains 11-05-07
I have owned my pack for about 1 year. I have hunted fished and camped everyplace in the Rocky Mountains with it and all I can say is where was this pack all my life. Well designed once you get it assembled. At first I thought it should come assembled, but then realized it is so you become familiar with the components. You can jam about anything into this pack and still find load management easy even in very steep country. It is simple to attach weapons and spotting scopes to the outfit with the generous attachment points. The zippers are top notch and keep out moisture very well. I like being able to remove the lower divider in the pack to make a huge tube, if you will, when it is pack out time. There may be a better pack out there but I have never seen it. Weight distribution with the yoke system make huge loads of meat easy to pack with no low back strain. Don't delay buy one today.

great backpack! If only it came with a bathroom. Very durable, frame work is awesome. Great for heavy loads. I recommend this to anybody. " Built mountain tough"
Here's the deal... I purchased this pack because Mountain Hardwear is a great brand and the price was appealing. Unfortunately this was not the kind of backpack that I needed. After about 2 hours I finally assembled the thing and still didn't have it completely correct. The instructions were terrible and the entire Yoke System in itself was just too complicated. It's a great idea, and if you have the time and patience to set it up correctly, I don't doubt that this pack will be extremely comfortable. However, it appeared that there were a lot of plastic parts, which worried me. I fear that this pack would be susceptible to breaking if not taken care of. If you are planning to hike regular steep climbs and need a pack to fit like a glove that you don't plan to take off frequently, then this pack may be for you. In my case, I chose to return it.
