I ordered this backpack because I'm a sport/alpine climber. I was looking for the PERFECT pack that could carry my rope, harness, shoes, chalk bag, food, water and gear and had durability. This bag fits it all and was true to size. The only downfall is that the pack doesn't fit as tight to my body as other packs do. Meaning it flopped around a bit. All in all though, I would highly recommend this pack - especially for women as I was looking at women's specific packs

This pack is the Best!

I use this pack 3/4 times a week for climbing and it fits my rope, rack, and the rest of my essentials perfectly. Its great for ice in the winter as well. I used this for 4 days in the San Juan backcountry tele skiing and its the most comfortable pack I've ever had, I would definitely recommend it.
