Sorry for the delay in our response. I used the Osprey waypoint and chose it because I liked how it zipped around the front and not at the top. It was a bit smaller than I might have wanted for a yearlong rtw trip, but it was dependable. I thought it was pretty comfortable on my back and shoulders until I tried the replacement pack that Eagle Creek sent my husband after one of the straps broke to his backpack. The Eagle Creek pack was much more comfortable and seemed to distribute the weight of everything well. I ended up switching to that pack instead. I don't think we hiked on a natural reserve during our trip and we definitely did not camp out, but we did a lot of city hiking with our packs. I'm not sure if you've already gone on your trip yet, but I hope your pack works for you. Good luck! Hello! Sorry for the delay in our response.

Great to see your packing list. But I'm on a hiking trip to Mount Tahan in Malaysia which requires 5 days of hiking (expected 3 days to reach summit of the mountain) and we needa bring food. I wonder if it's big enough. Do you guys hike in natural reserve before. We are indeed camping out!!! Hey guys, I too have a Osprey waypoint 60. Great to see your packing list.
