Super value - Granite Gear Verendrye Backpack

Needed a replacement for my 35L pack, which gets used for short weekend hotel trips, day hikes, downhill skiing, urban outings, and summer festivals. I haul extra layers, water, snacks, and other "essentials" for my 2 kids. This pack nails it. Lots of pockets, and the material seems to be very water resistant. Side pockets fit a 1L Nalgene bottle (a basic requirement for me). Seems like it will be much more sturdy than my previous 35L pack.
