I pick up the Blaze yesterday and today I load it with what I typically take on 2-3 days trek minus a sleeping bag. This backpack is really comfortable. They put some weight on it in the store for me and made lot of adjustment and it's much better fitting and comfort than my other.

It was worth saving up for so far, cannot wait to hit the trail. I haven't had a chance to load it with winter gears yet such as parka and all that, but I need start shopping for clothes. My friend has a Kelty 3d light year sleeping bag that he used one time and said the mummy cut was too narrow for him. Since I have a smaller body frame, he told me it be perfect for me. He going let me borrow it whenever I can go again.
