Big and heavy with a high waist belt but well made and comfortable with reall well organized pockets and pouches. If they were the same weight as an Alice pack without frame they would be perfect. In a nutshell!

It's well easy to pack, just don't put too much in there! Personally I find it quite comfortable and bombproof. It is just over engineered for my needs, I prefer osprey packs now for leisure/schrafting as I have switched to a light weight ethos. If you are going to be in a country where you need extreme hardware in a pack and your life depends on its engineering but weight is not an issue it is ideal ( warfighter ). I inherited mine from my little bro and was originally drawn by the design and it's organisation capabilities with all the pockets. Found very good for keeping my kit organised and easily accessible even in the dark (permanent home for every thing) If I could get the same design but made out of a civvy type material making it light weight and with an adjustable back system it would be my holy grail. I always feel more comfortable with this type of pack than the tall narrow alpine style.

Oh yeah forgot to add you can easily stow an axe down the side on the one I have, used to have that on one side and set up tele rod stashed on the other.

Thanks very much for taking the time to reply. I fancy one, but don't fancy the price !.
