For anyone looking to buy, a 30L pack is small for backpacking. It's basically on the larger side of daypack. If you're unsure how much volume you backpack with, this pack is too small.
This is a weird pack in my opinion, and only good for day hikers who need to carry a lot and won't buy a nicer brand. Any backpacker experienced enough to carry as little as 30L will probably have a lighter, nicer pack. Anyone who wants a daypack will probably go with a different brand too. Anyone who is new enough to buy something by Alps Mountaineering for backpacking probably needs twice the space. It's too big to be a commuter pack and the hip pads will annoy them.
Honestly, if you're looking for something like this, just get an Osprey on sale. Waaaay better gear, company, warranty.
Go to REI after the stores open again, and get one that fits you. The 2lbs or so difference that you might find looking at backpack specs online is nonexistent as long as the backpack fits you. I would rather carry 30lbs well than 28 lbs on my shoulders.
