This backpack has been my companion on many backpacking trips, but still is fresh and amazing quality. Originally purchased for $300 dollars about 8 years ago. I am 5'4'',162 cm, with a small frame, and this backpack is perfect. There are adjustable straps so also works great for taller or shorter people. A great pack for solo hiking trips, can fit everything you, but also packs down quite small and can be taken on the airplane as a carry-on. There are some slight sights of wear and use, mostly on the bottom gray section as shown in the photos, but nothing major, the red is still bright.
