I use this pack for cane tripping. One nice feature is the mesh pouch on the front. You can put items you may need during the day or items that may be dirty or wet that you don't want inside of the pack.
One thing that would make the pack better is if the tab you use to tighten the straps after you put it on was longer. If it had a loop you could hang onto while you walk that would be really nice. I have carried about 55 pounds of gear and the pack was comfortable.
Highly recommended.
