Been looking for a pack and I think this is the one, does anyone have any pros or cons before I buy it

It doesn't climb or carry very well, especially if you have a rack inside and a rope on top. The waist strap sucks since it's just thin webbing. The material is quite burly but it's not often you need to actually haul such a small pack. It depends on what you want it for, but it's really not a great and comfortable pack to wear all day to a climb with a long approach and it's not really large enough for cragging, but it's okay for longer routes with insignificant approaches.

I just got one and used it for a trip to the NRG. I used this as my partners pack and i carried my 45L Patagonia Cragdaddy. It was used to haul some draws, food, my partners personal gear, a camera and the guidebook. I really liked the stowable pocket for water bottles and rain jackets. The webbing belt is meant to keep the pack close to your body, not to carry any weight so thats a bummer... but its also stowable. its a tough material and i really liked that. the guide book pouch is actually really nice especially if the pack is on your partner and all they have to do is turn around for you to grab it. I have a 20L pack as well and id rather take that on a longer climb. cons is that it does alot of things... just not particularly well. its not a designated multipitch pack, but it could work. its not a haul bag, but it could work. its not a cragbag, but it could work. you get the picture.

keep in mind i got mine for over 50% off and i think its worth what i paid for it, but not msrp.

Rasputin isnt wrong on the comfort, unless.....The key for me is i put my sandals in the back where the straps can stow and it makes the pack super comfy with heavy weight and gives awesome support that the pack is missing for heavier loads. That or a thin sheet if ridged plastic like they make those little lawn sign out of. Once I figured out the sandals trick the thing has been one of my favorite packs I've had an is super durable. I have the 30l version.
