This isn't a backpack, But I didn't know where to file the review. More like a super duty stuff sack. This bag is made of stainless steel. I used this bag on a spring trip to grand canyon. It was recommended by a ranger at the permit desk. It is intended to protect your food from small critters. I used mine on a 3 night trip and it worked wonderfully. On the second morning we saw little footprints all over our site. No doubt those critters would have gotten our food if we hadn't put it in an Outsak. These bags are sold at Grand Canyon and other places. Apparently you have to take some precautions against ravens. We used the suggestions found on the manufaturers website, which was on the tag when we bought our bag. We used a medium bag, appx 18 x 18 for 3 people on a 3 night trip. Plenty of room, lightweight as well. The bag gets sealed shut with velcro, inside a seatbelt type material. Tuff stuff, almost too hard to open. It worked for us, and I'm sure it will for others as well. I'm grateful to the ranger who recommended it. I would recommend this bag to all my backcountry buddies.
