Okay so I waited to review this backpack until I had done some serious hiking with it. For the most part I love this pack. I like the side storage, waist belt storage, top storage and back storage that allows me plenty of room to prioritize where gear goes. The pack is a trade off

My first outing was a tough three night/four day hike in the Rockies. It worked great! We had rain the first night and it was slightly exposed and it stayed dry. The only issue is the pockets.
