I have owned the rucksack since 2003 and its been in use every weekend and its without a scuff or pulled thread - they are very well made and worth the high price.

I rate lowepro very highly, and use the street and field system for a lot of trips out, but I think the microtrekker isnt robust enough for the climbing kit. We are talking about quite a load here - 2 60m ropes, harness, 2 axes, crampons, ice screws, slings, various bits of rock-climbing ironmongery, survival bag, flask, food, waterproofs, map, compass ...
Come to think of it I need a sherpa, not a bag! (Failing that, some new knees would be nice )
