I give it the perfect over night fall backpack thumbs up! I’ve full modded it. But like it simple and practical.

This pack fits me very well. It has a ton of storage. Very happy with the Hi-Speed as an all-around use pack for travel, day hikes, etc.

I really recommend you this model, comfortable, versatile and ultra-resistant

Although hiking through the Floridian woods with up to a 105-108 degree heat index while carrying enough for 3 days out is pretty much always going to suck, the HiSpeed II undoubtedly helped make it more bearable and left me better off than the others I was out with. If it makes a difference, they had a Mystery Ranch SATL, a USMC issue ILBE, and a Condor 50L 3DAP. Although my pack was the smallest, we were all packed such that we each had around 45-55lbs wet. What seemed to be the biggest standout feature that made carrying the weight easier with my pack was that the HiSpeed II had by far the superior hip belt of the four, allowing me to better distribute the weight between my hips and shoulders (I'm sure the frame didn't hurt either).

Coming from an REI Trail 40, the HiSpeed directly addressed pretty much all of my gripes with that pack and more, the biggest relating structure, compartmentalization, and modularity. The frame and more robust waist belt did a significantly better job of bearing and distributing the weight of my gear. I'm also a sucker for organization, so the 2 upper and 2 lower compartments were perfect for me. It was also nice to have MOLLE/PALS webbing throughout, which actually came in very handy for me since it's how I carried my radio, knife and a GP pouch full of trail snacks on my hips and my tent, and my sleeping pad on the bottom.

While I've only got the one hike with this bag under my belt as of the writing of this review, so far it's been a great improvement that was well worth the money and I look forward to getting to put it to further use.

I use this pack every day. I love this pack

This pack is by far excellent. i use this pack almost everyday. I have only had mine about a month and i have put it through the ringer. Very comfortable decent weight without gear. I love the adjustable shoulder straps. has a tremendous amount of room. Quick access to items in the pack. rain cover is great too. my only complaint is i wish the original belt was a little wider i had to buy extra buckles to fit it around me. definitely a great pack for hiking camping etc.. i use mine as my 3 to 5 day camping pack. great stuff.

Everything I was looking for.
