I have been climbing 3 times a year for more than ten years. I had a great Kelty that lasted forever but due to tightening international luggage restrictions I had to downsize a bit. I knew it wouldn't last forever at this price but I figured as long as I could use it for 2-3 years it was worth my money. This backpack is AMAZING - I specially ordered it as it opens like a suitcase (so hard to reach / dig things out of the bottom of a tall backpack). It has LOTS of separate pockets so you don't need panniers (although I still use them in the large compartment). I couldn't believe the amount of space I had to pack even though the capacity is smaller than my Kelty. I had a few empty seats because there are so many pockets for ANYTHING and everything you can think of (and I DO NOT pack light items). The zippers that bother me the most are expensive. They glide and glide very well and have held up superbly throughout our ten days in Cambodia. I returned about 9 kg of stuff, there were no problems. I recommend this pack for both long and short trips as I find it will last for several years with moderate use. I also had no problem transporting it on six planes of this size.
