I have backpacked, camped, and hunted for over 30 years and this is the best backpack I have ever owned. It has great pockets, straps, and it is hydration system compatible. So far this pack has held up great and looks like its still new (I've used it for over two years now). I couldn't realistically think of any improvements. It a heavy beast but that's because it's large. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.
Pros: Big enough for all weather gear, tough, quiet.
Cons: Heavy ( because its large )
