I have been using this bag for around 4 months now and I am really impressed. The duffel style opening system makes it really easy to dump your gear in and zip it up, saves all that digging around of a top loading pack. I can easily fit a full trad rack, 60 m rope and a few layers and shoes in the bag, If i want to fit a little more in then I can just put the rope through the rope carry straps and fit a load more stuff in the main compartment. The side pockets are huge and can easily fit a large flask or my climbing shoes (both in one pocket). The only negative for me is that the outer small zip pocket and the internal zip pocket are a little small meaning I can't fit some of my guidebooks in there and my medium sized first aid kit takes a bit of jiggling to get in. Other than that that I can't fault this bag, I have hauled it up some big multi-pitches and dragged it through slate quarries (with some very sharp edges) and it has took the punishment; no tears or holes. Finally being patagonia, it uses lots of recycled materials and they have a great ethic to their supply chain so thats a great added bonus.
