This pack is incredible! Super spacious and very durable would be the best two words to describe it. The only complaint I have so far is that there is no extra pocket for a water bladder so it just has to hang on the inside of the pack with my clothes (which would not stay dry if there was a leak). There is enough space for me to pack my GSI Pinnacle Dualist cooking system, Snow Peak Titanium Stove (with 2 gas cans), Kelty Trail Dome 4 tent, sleeping bag, food, water, maps, first aid kit, and 5 days worth of clothes with room to spare inside. It has great loops for trekking poles on the outside and my sleeping pad lives on the bottom of the pack on the outside. It pretty much has enough room to pack for 2 people on a 3-5 day trip. I have had as much as 60lbs in the pack and as little as 15lbs and was still comfortable all day. This is due to the many straps around the pack for tightening up those loose, lightweight loads and keeping heavy loads in the same place even while scrambling. Overall it's a great pack and I hope to use it for some winter time backpacking soon.
