What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven
I work as a Back country Wilderness Ranger, so my loads are easily around 60 lbs. This pack is highly adjustable while ON my body or OFF. The padding on the waist belt is great on bony hip bones that bruise easily from heavy loads. Once adjusted to fit your body, It doesn't rub or chafe shoulders, hips, or back. Truly a comfortable pack. The pack is NOT water proof, so be sure and treat it with a "spray on" proofer to help with rainy days, dewey mornings or high river crossings. It's best to just throw on a rain cover in these conditions. This pack has plenty of compartments for smaller gear. Even though it has a sleeve on the inside for your Camelback and hose-- it would be nice to have a nalgene/etc. sleeve on the outside.
