Awesome pack, very comfortable and can haul a ton of weight without killing you. Light enough to use as a daypack and fit verything I needed for 5 days in the Zerkel wilderness.
Only problem was the squeezing! It squeaks when you move, squeaks when you breath no matter how much weight you have in the bag. Had to hold my breath to listen for bugles or cow calls.
Called mystery ranch about the issue and they fixed me up for free. Took about 6 weeks to get it back but now it’s squeak free.
Only real gripe besides the squeezing is a lack of access to your gear. You have to really think hard about where you put equipment that you may need on the fly. Can only get to it from the top and one side.
