From my experience the hornhunter pack is good for about 3 seasons. In the three seasons I have had mine, I have broken three straps, torn/wore the bottom out, replaced the top zipper twice all with some of the worst customer service. I love the design but the pack is just not durable enough for me. I am hard on my stuff as I horn hunt a lot and use it during hunting season but for it to be done after three years is kind of irritating. In contrast I had an old Cabelas brand (I had my reservations buying it) pack that lasted me 8 years of the same abuse and probably even more as I was younger for half the price. I am interested in comments if anyone has any other recommendations as I am looking too. Thanks, Josh
