>>763715I have a similar pack from the same company but an older model.
It may not be the lightest back pack, but it's solid and does the world well, I found it to be very comfortable and less prone to tear and wear than the Ospray models my friends were hiking with.
Used it for a couple 1-2 months hikes in mountainous terrain and a several shorter 1-2 week hikes. It's in great condition after that (which isn't really a huge amount really), but I also take care of it like my baby and it usually sleeps with me in the tent.

>>763810 >>763801Spent years in the military carrying an external frame pack, they are great if you're intention is to carry 30 kg's and more on a regular basis. Otherwise internal frame backpacks are pretty much superior in every way.
>>764970Did you buy this online?
Not that this would be of any help to you now, but when picking a backpack you should put it on with weight in the store and walk around the store for 20-30 mins. When I said weight I mean something like 12kg for a backpack like yours.
Adjust the straps, with the help of the store personal and see if it feels comfortable.
Different backpacks have different back systems and straps, which are comfortable or not for different people.
If you can still return it, then you should do the procedure I suggested at home and if it's no good go back to the store and check out other backpacks.
>>765108>built tough and is durable but doesn't weight 5lbs empty. Also would like molle/pals webbing for attaching pouches.These things are contradictory.
