I went with a Metcalf and overall love it. Great pack, comfortable, versatile. I do think its a little big for daypack use for my preference, so I also picked up a pintler bag only option on sale. If you're looking at something like this, get the metcalf first, since they don't sell the metcalf as a bag only. I actually LOVE the Pintler. great bag, perfect day pack side, and easily accessible for getting gear out with the tri-zipper arrangement they have. Now the metcalf bag is set aside and only used for multiple day hunts, otherwise its pintler for day hunts and hikes.
