Fantastic multi-day backpack
This is not your weekend pack; although, it can be used for that. This is for one or two week treks into the wilderness. For those purposes, this pack does the job very well. Although I have yet to use the hydration system option, it's there. It even has a usable and roomy detachable day pack.Our family owns two of these packs. We do a lot of backpacking, and these packs have our highest praise. I really like the number of pockets on this pack that make it very easy to access gear. The main compartment is accessible from the front, sides and top.The sleeping bag compartment is really nice. Misplaced your stuff sack? Just stuff it in here.Not enough room inside? This pack has plenty of external straps.

Sleeping bag compartment way too small
First off, the construction quality and materials are far superior to other backpacks I've tried. You really get what you pay for.However....For a backpack this size, I have to wonder why the sleeping bag compartment is so small.I have a Wiggy's SuperLight for cold weather, and a Coleman Peak mummy for warm weather that I have no intention to replace. Even with compression sacks, neither bag will fit in the sleeping bag compartment. A huge disappointment.The Coleman is roughly 10" diameter, 17" long when reasonably compressed. It won't fit.The compartment is just not "tall" or "deep" enough, although it it certainly "wide" enough. I think it's technically possible to cram one of the bags in, but it would be incredibly difficult, would require compressing the bags to the max that the compression straps/buckles would allow, and would ultimately put a lot of strain on the compartment and zipper. I suspect the compartment seams / stitching...
