Very well made. I've used this several times. The fit is great, very comfortable, good fittings. The bag compartment for the water bag is well done.
No drawbacks yet.

Very nice pack for long dayhikes or short backpacks. Extremely comfortable. I've worn it about 20 times now. Can handle decent load, easily 25 pounds. Seems to be durable. Very versatile. Buckles are unique but seem to work great. Can hardly feel the shoulder straps, even with weight. Hope I don't ever have to use the whistle in the sternum strap, but it's there if needed. Lots of straps. I like this pack.

Great day pack! Altrec staff recommended this pack to me and I love it! I took it with me to Thailand, Nepal and a trek through Bhutan. For three weeks it held everything I need on the plane or on the trail. Easy to adjust in different ways.
