Love this pack
Love this pack. Good for fastpacking as well. Would be nice if there was a smaller size for smaller people.

Good fit
It’s nice to find a running vest style pack for bigger guys instead of the normal twig sized running vest packs. Lots of pockets which I like. The bag is big enough for a thru hike if your gear is dialed in for an ultralight kit. I bought mine off a different site that had a sale going on. I like the blue but wish I had gotten the gray version instead.

amazing if it fits
Alas! This backpack is great in many ways, but as the name ZERK suggest, you need the build of a Berserker. Dear Mountainsmith: how about a version with a harness fit for the smaller Berserkers among us? Not all heroes come in XL.
