Likes: I have used it twice with 35 & 40lbs, it carried both weights very well. Great construction and feel. Belt is nice and comfy and plenty of room to stuff your gear.
Dislikes: no extra zippered pockets is a downer, playtapus section is way to small, basically unusable

Likes: Lightweight, well-constructed, and completely fits my 5'8" torso, medium. We're going 3 day camping this weekend and I'll get to really try it out. Overall, this is a good buy compared to other heavier backpacks.
Dislikes: The choice of colors, and no expansion pouch

Likes: I was looking for a pack that was more minimalist. I didn't wan't straps in every direction, I didn't need 4 different compartments or pockets everywhere. The Blaze was just the perfect size and the big mesh pockets on the side and front of the pack are perfect for saws, small camp chairs, fuel, water bottles, etc.
The Blaze also expands and contracts really well. You can maximize the pack out, or just have a small day load and it will secure down quite easily.
Dislikes: I recently took the pack on a sub-zero overnighter and the mesh pockets do not perform as good in the really cold. They don't contract back to their original form, they stay expanded. So the elastic on the mesh pockets aren't really ment for subzero, but the pack was awesome in the cold/snow.

Likes: It is light weight and unlike other packs on the market. Simple.
Dislikes: Two compression cords that went vertical on the lower part of the pack would have been nice for a sleeping mat. I am using the compression cords up the middle for that purpose.

Likes: Very lightweight, durable pack. Nice that you can overpack it with the extension sleeve, so you can easily accomodate that big food bag that you have in the beginning of those week-long trips. If it wasn't able to be over packed, 60 liters is a little on the small side for 7-8 day trips in the shoulder seasons, but this pack can do it.
Dislikes: Minimal ability to organize, as it has few pockets (but this saves weight, so its a trade-off). Thats about the only downside. Fairly comfortable pack, but not as comfy as others; however, for packs in its weight class, it must be deemed one of the most comfortable to wear with 30 lbs in it.

Likes: Exceptionally light. Excellent frame, handles 50 lb load (and probably more) quite well. Spartan simplicity. More rugged than you might think. Super comfortable.
Dislikes: Ummm....

Likes: I order this bag to replace my 12 years Gregory on less rigid backpacking trip.
The bag is half the weight of my existing bag : ) Look very solid. except the bottom of the bag all stitches are done outside which make me a bit concerns for long term durability.
Over all, looks like very nice bag for the weight.
ah.. good word for Backcountry Edge who delivered the products in two days.
Dislikes: Except the bottom of the bag all stitches are done outside which make me a bit concerns for long term durability.
