This backpack got me some amazing memories in back country. All Buckles and Zippers are in great function. Its not waterproof anymore, but I never relayed on it anyway. I used the rain covers- they worked amazing for me. Shoulder and Hip straps are very comfortable. The size is medium to large and adjustable( shoulder straps to hip belt distance) There are many years life left in this backpack. I would like to see it in some carrying hands...
