Just back from using this pack for 5 days on the Chilkoot Trail from Dyea, Alaska and Bennett Lake, British Columbia. The pack worked well and easily carried my 50# load. I got the blue one to be more visible. The expandable-stretch pockets on both lower sides carried my water bottles-toilet kit-extra insect repellant without coming out the one open side of each pocket. My synthetic sleeping bag (2.5#) easily fit into the bottom zippered pouch with a little room left over for a wayward stinky sock or two. The small pockets on each side of the waist belt worked well to hold my bug spray (used often) and SPOT (used twice a day to let family know where I was). My hydration pouch fit well into the frame pocket and was a thirst saver on the "Golden Staircase." The adjustable shoulder harness worked well as I adjusted it some from the start and during the trip as our food and fuel supplies slowly lightened. For the next trip, I may sew up some sylnylon outside attachable pockets for some of the other small items often used on such a trip. I sewed up a sylnylon packcover, but this time it didn't rain on the entire trip - very unusual! My only complaint was the slipping waist belt - it required hourly adjustments (and more so if I carried a small soft camera case on the belt). Not sure if it's the buckles or material or a combination of both that doesn't hold - will do some research to see if there is a fix or not. Next time I'll shoot for a 35# pack, but intend to use the Volt as part of the package.Most of the consumer Reviews tell that the "Osprey Men's Volt 75 Backpack, Stellar Blue, One Size" are high quality item.
