As a day hiker mostly this is all I needed in a backpack, it has served me well for my needs. It is fairly light waight, expecially for the price, and provides for all my needs. If you are a serious hiker and requre more gear you might consider a bigger pack.

Overall it is a good pack for it's size, weight and price.

Customer Service

As I have mentioned in other reviews, you can never go wrong with products from LL Bean. Excellent customer support

Before this pack I just had an old army surplus pack that was not nearly as light weight. So no major comparisons.
