After researching for a pack to take on my Europe travels I settled on this. Excellent pack with easy access through the front and top for gear access. Very comfortable and stable even when packed full. Quality is second to none as to be expected with Osprey gear.
I purchased this pack after getting a warranty claim from a different pack that didn't last 3 months. So far i'm really impressed with how solid this pack is and how comfortable it feels. I've had a 25+kg in this pack a few times and haven't had a problem with the pack feeling uncomfortable at all. I went with this pack because of its large capacity and like that it doesn't feel too bulky even when its filled up
The saddle of the pack is super comfortable great external pockets, easy to adjust the saddle to my back.
Unfortunately the waist buckle broke 2 days into a 5 tramp on its maiden trip. Waist buckle is a bit weak obviously.
