This is a great pack for longer multi day treks or "leisure campers" who have a laundry list of essentials. The clip off top makes a great day sling/hip pack for quick treks away from basecamp when you don't want to lug the whole bag. Some have reported issues with the waist strap plastic being a breaking point, they are densely molded plastic and I could see this being an issue getting tossed around or dropped on the straps. I always store mine upright without strain on them and have no issues so far, but would be a little weary checking this at the airport.
