Great pack
for one day or ultralight multiday climbs. It is relatively small (40 liters) for a multiday pack so it forces you to pask only what you need. The expansion sleeve adds quite a bit of room.
I like the tough fabric that resists wear and tear well. Think how you pack because it is hard to get to items in the bottom of the pack - it has only top access and it feels as if mine is narrower towards the bottom.
This pack does not carry anywhere close to my Osprey Atmos but well enough.
Its narrow profile is good for climbing but it seems that I bump the back of my head againt the top of the pack when it is loaded.
I hope it will make a good ski mountaineering pack as well.
