I would rercommend this bag for camping, road trips, etc., it appears well made, plenty of room for tall and large (like myself),. However, if you're going on a real hiking or backpacking trip where you'll be toting it for some distance, this bag is probably too heavey. When I was ordering, the description did not have the actual wieght of the bag. It's well over 7lbs. Otherwise, it's a winner......
