Good value. I use the pack for everday use, heading to the rock gym, for carrying a jacket while cross-country skiing, but not as a summit pack, etc. After a few months of moderate use, the top loop ripped off on mine and I'm definitely wishing it had a sternum strap. I'd look for a Marmot Kompressor on sale instead -- sternum strap, ice axe loops, compression straps, etc.
