Has anyone had experience with this pack? I'm looking to do two+ weeks on the AT in NC/TN/VA(?). How much gear can this hold comfortably and how comfortable is it? I'll use it probably for all my other hiking endeavors not to exceed a month for the forseeable future.
Thanks,
Brendan

It's a technical pack, meaning it's designed for alpine climbing and skiing, but should work fine for general backpacking. It will have alot of features that you will not need, like ski holsters, ice axe sleeves, 3 point haul loops, etc...
Osprey makes great packs, the Aether 60 might make more sense for general backpacking. I like the thermo molded foam backpad, but other than that the Aether seems to be a bit more up the typical hikers alley.
