Metolius Crag Station Crag 41L Backpack

Absolutely love this bag. This is my second one. My first one was stollen on a train, and I immediately bought a replacement. This goes with me on all trips. It fits perfectly in the overhead bins on trains and is super easy and comfy to carry as a backpack.

Versatile design looks like it will be great for use as a cragging pack, duffel and/or for travel. Has already passed the first test as a crag pack, as it is a nice size and carries well. The design is refreshingly clean, without extra straps or gadgetry, but glad they added the two straps that cross the main zipper, keeping it from taking too much stress when the pack is full.Although I have high hopes for this bag, I hesitate to give it five stars before it has taken much abuse or undergone a full variety of uses. A key question is whether the surfaces without the heavier tan urethane material will wear out sooner.
