I had quite a few backpacks and still own sum, the Granite Gear bag reminds me allot of my old Crux bag, but with some external pockets. Even though I would like a bag that opens from the bottom I know with such conveniences comes compromises too. This bag is lightweight, comfortable and oozes quality. I bought a raincoat for it as the UK wet weather will make any bag leak. Very happy with my purchase.
