Hi Kevin, love my Divide pack! I used it on a 12 day sambar deer hunt into remote country in our winter last. When not loaded up I used it as a day pack strapped down as small as it would go. It weighs less than any of my bum packs so was great as a duel purpose thing like that and easily handled a stag head and meat on a two and a half hour haul back to camp when I got lucky.
Couple small things that I'd change if I could though:
As mentioned above, the stretchy material used for the bottle pockets and rear gear pocket is not going to last the distance. Mine is frayed and threads pulled already.
A side zip would make accessing gear in the deep main bag a whole lot easier.
