    do share!!


    nice review senrock


    initially i would have said 2/5 was my rating as i couldn't get over the lack of size

    but now i'm thinking i need to look this puppy over

    there's a small slit in the fabric between the top handle orange webbing. Can't see it in the pic but the handle is the 4th one senrock posted.

    Arrived in Maine today!!!!! :D

    IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!!!! The detail is AMAZING!!!!

    I have no fucking clue what people were talking about with the size being too small...it's PERFECT

    *Mine also shipped via USPS, not UPS as SEN's did...
    You'd think if you lived in the same town of somebody who got theirs you'd get yours too. Not the case! At least I'm kite!
    Yes Rat!!

    You can come over and put mine on your shoulders if you want!! 8-)

    Best review ever !!! Thanks a lot for taking the time to share with us ;)

    Can't wait to receive mine in France but I know it will take time....

    received mine yesterday (9/29, detroit area)
    i love it... a lot ...but i hate it at the same time
    because it makes me want to travel with it and
    that's not on my list of things to do anytime soon...
    but when i do, it will be.....spectacular.
    it is just that cool. lots of pockets i can use, looks
    to be super durable, compact yet not too small,
    comfy to wear....nice PJ20 decor... 5 out of 5 stars.

    I just saw the same model Pantagonia backpack in another color at a store and now I am kicking myself for not ordering one :cry:. As you can tell by my post count I am obviously on here a lot and I am several hours to ponder over whether I needed one or not. I travel a lot and it would be great to have. I suck lol.

    I looked through every pocket and was kind of confused...

    Does it REALLY come with a whistle? Where is it?

    And I thought it came with some sort of water/camelback type of thing, but did not see that or the tube (which I figured must be purchased separately?)_.... what am I missing here.

    The whistle is part of the buckle on the chest strap. I didn't even know it was there until someone posted about it on here.

    I'm with you on the camelback thing though, not sure how that works. It looks like there is an opening on the back at the top where a tube could fit through.

    I had to look hard for the whistle too, but finally found it. That's handy - I guess the idea is if you went into the wilderness and were lost, you'd could at least make a little noise so people would find you....

    I love all the pockets and compartments. I just put my math books in it.
