"More comfortable than my bed. Really." 		          09/15/09
First, thank you to the East Lansing store staff for being so awesomely helpful! You see, I am not a very big person, in fact I'm kind of a little person so its important to me that a pack to be both lightweight and for it to sit well on my (small) frame. This pack accomplishes both of those goals easily. It makes forty pounds of gear feel like it's hardly there. The only gripe I see some people having with it is it's lack of pockets, being that there are really only three distinct compartments. Buts lets be honest, when I go on trips I just kind of throw my stuff together in a sort of lovely organized mess anyways.

"Strong enough for a man, made for a woman" 		          08/09/09
I love this pack! It fits my small frame, it's easily adjustable (especially around the boobs) I love the airscape bag that feels a bit like a massage while you're hiking. The hipbelt custom molds to your body as you use it. In short, it made carrying nearly have my weight on my back almost a pleasure. The Osprey brand is a great brand, it has add-ons for water bottles and phones and those could be nice perks but certainly not necessary. I would recommend the rain cover though - but that's a separate review and I don't mean to give spoilers.

"Great Pack for a Girl!" 		          08/03/09
This was my first pack that was designed for a woman. I love it! It fits in all the right places(I'm a curvy girl). I have used it all over the U.P. of Michigan. So many different adjustments to make your trek more comfy. I would buy this Osprey Pack again.

"LOVE MOOSEJAW, LOVE THE PACK!" 		          04/28/09
Moosjaw has the most experienced and knowledgeable employees out there. They helped me pick out this pack and I absolutely love it! I would highly recommend buying this pack, it's so comfortable and is custom for your body (due to the molding)! From now on, I'll only buy packs from Moosejaw!

"Awesome pack!" 		          03/30/09
My husband and I love Osprey. Great company, great people. We had a buck break and the overnighted us the parts to fix the problem and we were on our way! Great service, and great product!

"Buy this pack. it is awesome" 		          03/28/09
I have used this pack on 5 trips and LOVE IT! It fits all my gear and has enough pockets that I can organize my stuff in it pretty well. It packs so that weight is carried in the right area. It has a convenient overhead pocket that can store granola bars, sunglasses and things you want to grab without taking off your pack. Has 2 convenient water bottle holders on each side and a separate zipper at the bottom to get your sleeping bag out. Also, your sleeping pad clips on vertically which makes all my friends envious because I fit through narrow rocks and in between trees easier!

"Good buy, but be careful..." 		          08/04/08
This pack was pretty! I loved the way it felt totally comfortable on my body and could cinch down tightly. I found that I was able to fit way more in it than I expected. The only problem was that I had two buckles break on a month long trip.

"I would buy it again, and recommend it to friends." 		          05/26/08
Took this backpack and a two week tour of Europe and it was perfect. The pack is very comfortable when you have the straps done up right. I carried it around often with about 27-30lbs in it comfortably. Wish it had side access into the pack because you have to take everything out to get to something near the bottom I didn't think about that before purchasing. That was the only thing I wish was different because this pack really fit well and I did not feel like I was carrying 30lbs.

"Love it!" 		          04/24/08
Went to a store and attempted to try on the whole inventory, just in the nick of time before the patient salesman was going to tear me a new one, I found it! The perfect back, comfy straps, good size, and a comfortable back. Had to race home to buy it on MJ in blue...
