Dimitri, there's an old saying: the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

As applied to your five pound pack, the proof of its utility is in what it does for you when you load it and carry it. If you are satisfied with it, then why should anyone else complain or tell you it isn't good enough?

The real reason for a site like TLB and all the questions posted and answers given is for the people who want help or advice, who are not satisfied with their current way of doing things and are looking for something better. In other words, they have tasted their pudding and think it tastes lousy!
