Most people who have owned TNF packs over the years feel quality has gone downhill considerably. I love the looks of this pack and it feels great on the back (though the straps don't), however I am strongly considering returning it after seeing how they attach the straps to the pack body. To me it just looked poorly designed and prone to failure. Sure enough, a lot of people have had problems with the straps coming unstitched and for many, TNF would not honor a warranty claim and chalked it up to 'normal wear and tear'. Somehow I missed the strap issue in my research, likely because the product reviewers on Youtube/gear websites only spend a brief time using the pack.
It's a shame because the bag checks all the boxes for me, otherwise. It's got great organization layout for me. I'm considering the Osprey Quasar or Parsec instead, if I do return this one.
The material quality seemed good enough to me, but the stitching looks a tad sloppy to my eyes. Overall, the pack doesn't have that premium feel to me.
