Penguin has one and is very happy with it. The new model looks even better to me. While ever you use them as intended I reckon they make a great pack.

Hi I tried one out and was attracted to it by the light weight. I'm 6'1"male and found I could not get a comfortable fitting from the recommended Medium size 60l ( I think) . Also the single strut in the middle that gives it the strength and sliding size adjustment seemed uncomfortable and I had trouble with the head space area. Felt my head was hitting the top of the lid area. I was fitted out by the store salesperson and no matter what I did , it felt not right for me .
Great concept and light and reasonable robust and I know a couple of female walkers who swear by theirs... But for me , unfortunately. If it would have fit comfortably , I would have bought one . I ended up buying an Osprey Aether 65l ( 2.3kgs) and think it's great . Not as robust but fits me well. Hope this helps. SC

I've never been able to get a One PLanet pack to fit me comfortably. I know I'm a small minority, but there you have it. PLenty of others love them though.
