Pros to this pack
>Loads of room and I mean loads. I tend to carry alot of stuff (small stuff) like cliff bars or jerky stuff like that so the side hip bags are great for that as well as putting commonly used items in there water bottles whatever>Easily comfortable packing 50+ pounds starts to really bother me right around 75 pounds>Nice for packing stuff that you find (Found a burl in a tree and took that) Sortof pic related. >Has a seat/flap at the bottom of the pack I/you can use for a sleepbag or a tent or whatever>Nice fabric and semi light as isCons:
>not waterproof>Wide turns and I mean wide>Hurts to bend over >Pain if you fall >Hurts your back after 3-4 days of hiking with 50ish pounds but thats normal.Advice: Great for my type of hiking which is going to a area camping out for a couple of days and going home. Normally 1-2 day hike there and back.
Not great for long treks which is where a interior frame comes into play. Not great for dense trails either.
Conclusion all up to your personal opinion. Try one on in a store and ask for some weights to be put in it and walk around for a hour looking at stuff and see how it feels.
