This backpack has served me well and was made in Burnaby at the original production-line before Arc'teryx got bought out. It has lots of great features such as a full lenght side zipper which provides access to the main storing compartment of the bag so you don't need to remove everything to access the items at the bottom of the bag. Detachable top bag, wet gear storage and foldable seating pad. It has tons of life left in it. The shoulder strap on one side needs to be resown but there are no holes or other issues. This is a solid pack and a great budget way to use a high quality pack if you can't afford a brand new one. This is a men's Medium size.
