This is my Read Head hiking pack, This is my regular go hike pack. I can really stuff this thing with gear for 2-3 days if I need too. I can and also have it as a stand bye BOB (Bail Out Bag). What I do like most is it has lots of pockets to separate my various things because it helps keep me organized ( I am not a very organized person). I have the pockets designated for different kits or items. The pack also unzips into 2 units, a day pack and a fanny pack so if needed I can use half of it. I like that feature! Should an emergency aride out on the trail I can split the pack and send someone for help or unzip the lower part and make a run for help myself. The many little pockets are great for tender kits, your compass or GPS and any survival/emergency items you may need. The pack also has enough room for a 3 liter water bladder and 2 side pouches that will hold two more 1 liter bottles each. It also has a cool little feature called an arcylite. it is a little light in the main compartment that is magnetically sensitive, when the zipper runs past it it turns on, this is great for low light or night time giving you instant access to light up your pack. zip your pack closed when your done and it will turn it self off. The pack also has a channel down the back portion to allow airflow to help keep your back cool and comfortable. I have hiked this pack 15 miles in a day and have had no discomfort with it. I routinely hike it with 20+ pounds in it, one for extra exercise and two just to see how well the pack is really designed. I did one hike with almost 40 pounds and was very happy with it. Most definitely my favorite pack to hike with. I have owned it about 5 years now and still no complaints.
