Great pack - Granite Gear Nimbus Trace Access 60 Backpack

I bought this pack for weekend backpacking trips as well as extended travel. I serves me well in both settings. I used it while traveling around South Asia for several months and the front access panel was a great convenience factor. I also have used it on a number of short backpacking trips. I removed the lid and it cinches down nicely for light loads or day hikes. But the suspension is also well built and it carries heavy loads well over uneven terrain. The only thing I would change is I wich it had a pocket on the hip belt for easy access to camera/snacks.
