So far I have only owned this pack for a week. I bought a three liter bladder for it that fit pretty well but the clips meant to hold it don't work with the one I got. It would have been nice if they had sold it with the bladder but that would cost more so I can't whine to much. I have found a way to hold it upright with the creative use of hair ties I'm sure most of you can figure something out.
I bought this pack at the full price and consider it a great buy. My intention at the time had simply been to carry extra clothes and towels for my kids on day trips. (there are 6 kids ages 2-10) There is plenty of space for what I need. I really love the hip pocket, I keep my nephews inhaler in it and I just feel safer knowing it's right there where I can reach it. With my old pack it had to be in the front pocket because I prefer to have it behind a zipper but this is so much better.
I am happy with the material and workmanship. It is light weight and at first I was worried but we went rockhounding and it really shined. Not only did it not end up torn by my tools when I fell it also held the fifty or so pound fossil the kids insisted we take home. The padded waist strap made carrying the ridicules rock the two and a half miles home not nearly as bad as I thought it would be.
As an added bonus when I take most of the clothes out and tighten everything down it makes a great padded backrest while I mow. I know it sounds silly but the sun just beats down and drains you when your mowing, even on a rider. roll up a towel for lumbar support and toss some ice in the bladder, I even take out the inhaler and stuck my iPod in the hip belt. (it's a tight fit) With the straps on my shoulders and the waist belt clip backward around the seat it stays in place great and makes mowing the yard so much more enjoyable.
Oh and the whistle is loud!
