I bought this pack to use for hiking/camping and as a three day pack. It is a great size. I am female, 5' 6" and it fits nicely on my back. The shoulder and waist straps are comfortable and easily adjusted. I carried 25 lbs of weight and was very comfortable. I also bought the hydration pack for this bag and it works great. I highly recommend this backpack and the price on Optics Planet was not matched by any other website.

Great pack, have had it about 3 months now and it hasn't failed me. I don't expect it to any time soon either, nice solid construction, was easy to adjust, removing the waist strap is easy it's just velcro through a heavy duty tube-thing. It has a heavy duty abrasion resistant nylon bottom to prevent damage when setting the pack down. Large main compartment is big enough to fit just about anything (I am able to fit a 20" machete plus a spotting scope and just about anything else I need). Second and third compartment still have a lot of room. It has MOLLE webbing down the sides back and on the bottom. D rings on the front straps allow for routing of hydration tube and com wires etc. This is a GREAT pack and was well worth the money.

This is a great pack. I bought it for an emergency prep/72 hour kit I'm putting together, and just recently had the opportunity to test it out on a two week trip through Europe. I gave it a fair share of abuse throughout the trip and did not have a single problem with it. Main compartment is large. It will hold the 100 Oz. Hydrastorm in a separate section of the main compartment. There are tons of molle attachment points which are useful, and the pack is very adjustable to make it comfortable to wear no matter how much you have stuffed into it. Zipper pulls are nice and smooth, D-rings on the the straps and key adjustment buckles are metal instead of cheap plastic. Overall a great dependable pack for the money. A side pocket on each side might be nice, but there are two adjustable straps on each side of the pack that can be used to simply cinch the bag and make it thinner as well as hold a jacket or bedroll etc securely without worrying it will fall off.
