- Well, I have never heard that the Mountainsmith falls apart, and I
- have one, and haven't had problems with it (although I just got it
- in early November). It has lots of good features, a few more straps
- and loops than I can think what to do with, and (the reason I got it)
- infinite adjustability, allowing me to find a perfectly comfortable
- arrangement. Honestly, it's the first pack I ever had that doesn't
- hurt my back or shoulders one bit. I imagine, though, that once you
- get into the stratospheric realm of prices (which both Mountainsmith
- and Gregory inhabit) all packs are quite comfy.
