Usage: Nice pack for 3-4 days hiking (I use it in tropical climate) - though sometimes I feel that larger size is better. Pros: * Excelent back system (damn fit on me!!! - 6ft tall) * Lightweight * Good accessibility of the stuff inside * Two water bottle pocket (I like this very much - I use one of 'em for my tent pole) * Detachable daypack with large pocket Cons: * Lower compression strap is overlap with waterbottle mesh pocket. * Sometimes weight distribution is a little bit far form my back (but I can manage this so far). * Lack of D-ring on shoulder strap - think this will serve well for various usage |

I bought this pack (lg) to replace a large external frame pack I used to lug around, and I use it mostly for 3-day trips. The pack is very well-made and comfortable to wear on long hikes. The Bio-span is a great feature that keeps the pack snug to your back. You have to pack wisely in order to get your favorite extra goodies in there. However, with 3200 cubic inches you still have enough room for 3-4 day trips in summer. The Glissade can easily manage the same number of days in winter by leaving your tent at home and using a tarp, put your clothes in a stuff sack attached to the bottom of the pack...(I'm talkin' winter in the southeast).
