What customers say:
The L.L. Bean Continental Weekender Pack is generally well-made, durable, and comfortable to carry, with a firm and well-padded back panel that can handle loads up to 25-30 pounds. It offers excellent organization and storage features, including plenty of pockets and compartments, a drawstring closure, and water-resistant lining. The pack is versatile, suitable for day hikes, weekend trips, and travel, though some taller users found it a bit short for their frame, and the waist belt may be inadequate for heavier loads. Overall, the pack is seen as a great value for the quality and functionality, well-suited for light to moderate use.

Solid Pack. Took it to Guatemala, and out on several hunting excursions in the woods nearby. Plenty of space for what I need. I just wish there was a version without a laptop pouch
