When this pack arrived it was so light that I thought that box was shipped empty. Since purchase I have taken this out once for about four hours and it rode very comfortably. One note on the sizing-Despite coming out well in the tall range from my back measurement, at 6'3" I feel that if I were an inch shorter the straps would be set up too tall for me. Note this is not a two strap Winnebago that you can shove everything you own into but I see it working out well for 1) a weekend backpack trip, 2) use out of a basecamp or 3) any type of scrambling on a pitch.
