I actually own an excellent name brand pack that costs twice as much, but usually grab this bag for 1-2 week trips. It is medium sized (compared to the big hiking and travel packs), but holds all the light jackets, umbrellas, snacks, etc. our family needs to handle unexpected weather while on the move from mid-spring to mid-fall. Obviously everyone's needs are different, you may need something bigger (or smaller).
Wouldn't it be better to spend a little more and get a name brand that comes with one of those lifetime no questions asked warranty where they will repair or replace if you mail it in to them? (like those old EastPak warranties)
The reviews say the chest strap over time no longer is able to hold in place, and has a serious design flaw (Traverse and RuckPack). Can anyone comment? This spells big trouble for long term ownership. REI has offered 0 solution other than return if you are within 365 return period. They can't even provide a replacement connector.
"The strap is only popped onto a rail to secure it, so apparently very little pressure can disengage it,"
"The chest straps are secured to the shoulder straps by plastic clips that slide on a small, straw-shaped gathering of material. If the clips are torqued in anyway, they separate here from the shoulder straps. The chest straps should NEVER separate here. I found this out yesterday on a 10-mile hike where the chest straps separated from the shoulder straps about 20 times. Also, the back pocket / flap no longer has a zipper and the capacity was reduced 3 liters. I can't believe this pack was field tested and this flaw was accepted. I'm returning it, it is unusable."
"After three (3) hikes, the sternum strap dis-attached from the tubular slider. A totally defective design for a $229 backpack. I will not buy again"
"The chest strap popped off the second trip he took it on and we can't find anyway to replace it… rendering it unusable for the big philmont trip. Talked with REI rep who said i needed to just make my own…. But with the weird system, I'd need the plastic piece that connects it. What should i do? We've been REI believers/members since the 1990's… surely they'll make this right… right?"
"There is a quality issue with this product that makes it undesirable. The mounting clamp for the chest strap is not secure. It came loose on both backpacks we bought. Totally unacceptable "

Consider getting an 8 liter or something similar size sling bag. Tomtoc makes high quality affordable ones.
