Took this out for a weekend loop and the frame transferred weight so well I forgot I had 30 pounds on my back. The hip belt padding is seriously plush, no sore spots even on the last mile in.

The hip belt sits just right after a few hours of hiking, and the load transfer to my frame made a huge difference on the steeper climbs. I've already used it on three overnight trips, and the 85 liters swallows a week's worth of gear without bulging awkwardly.

Took this out for a three-day trek and the 85 liters swallowed everything I threw at it, tent and all. The hip belt held firm on the rocky descents, and I never once felt the frame dig into my back. It’s a hefty pack when empty, but that’s the trade-off for a load this stable.
