>>1642573I have one. I used it through college and it worked fine. The shiny material shows wear pretty quickly though, and I always felt like it could use more rigidity. I gave thought to forming a piece of Kydex to slip inside.
My go-to woods pack is my Arcteryx Silo 40. It got me through two different college geology field classes, a million geology field trips, and has traveled all over the world a few times. Mine is covered in scuffs from being set down on rocky surfaces and having a rock hammer attached to it for 3 years.
Pic related isn't mine, but same model.
