It is extremely comfortable and is one of the few day packs I have found that is long enough for my torso. I have used it for regular day hikes and climbing trips as well. One of my favorite features is the front zip entry which allows you to enter the pack without having to take it off. You can just take the shoulder straps off, spin the pack in front of you and access your gear through the front. This is very handy in wet or awkward situations where you would rather not take the pack off and set it down.
Price is approx.
Doesn't wear easily at all, I hike hard, and it's still in mint condition. I'd recommend getting accessories on it though. There is no where to put water bottles for easy reach. Extremely durable, and reasonably priced. I have had mine for over a year and not so much as a loose seam.
