I have had this pack for a while it's pretty tough. I use it for camping, mtb, and anything. So far not a single rip or tare. If this bag ever fails I will buy another the next day.

I own this product for only six months and never stressed it with high volume of weight. So far it looks good. It handles more (volume-wise) than the previous Camelback I owned. But since I cannot tell you what was the model of the old one, I am not sure this helps. Sorry.

Hi there John S. As you probably already know, the CamelBak HAWG NV has a capacity of 17L+3L (reservoir). I've packed a lot of stuff in this backpack but I don't remember how much was the weight. I can tell you that is a very good backpack and I still have it and use it daily because is the right size and comfortable to carry. I also used it for long mountain-bike rides. Keep in mind CamelBak is releasing a HAWG NV redesign so if I were you, I would wait for maybe a month until they sell it through Amazon.Hope this answer helped you decide. Let me say again that despite the redesign one, this backpack is really great as every CamelBak product.For more information about products visit www.camelbak.com Hi there John S.

I've loaded it with 15lbs of fluid and supplies. 3 days of biking and camping and it has not failed me yet. Very durable and usable.

I have owned 3 of these bags since the early 80ʻs they are well built and stand up to much abuse and can handle heavy weightOne bag has seen well over a million miles of air travel. The velcro however does wear out after a bit.

Yes, I carry it in my backpack all the time. I have not really dropped it deliberately to test it. I think it should be able to withstand minor accidental drops.

It is big enough, but I wouldn't guarantee it would be sturdy enough. This pack is made of fairly thin nylon material. I think for that weight a canvas backpack would be better.

I've kept about 60lbs. worth of gear in it with no problem. There was no strain to the material when doing so. I don't know the max it can handle, but it can take a lot. Hope this helped.

Hi - so far it is very durable. However, we only open it every couple of days. It is well constructed out of quality materials.

I'm a bit late but just wanted to contribute as well. I've had this bag for about four years now. It's been to about six countries, many plane cargo holds and airports, and who knows how many beaches and sketchy modes of transportation. It's still in perfect shape and I am confident I will be using it on many backpacking trips to come. I consider this to be one of the most reliable purchases I've made.

Its about as water resistant as you can expect from a good backpack. Mine gets hit by small spray when travelling from the bank to the ship via a small craft. Has moderate water on it, no serious water amount, and my contents are still fine and dry. Hope it helps.

It seems durable enough to me. I've used it quite a bit, but I haven't been rough with it or dropped it.

It's pretty sturdy. I pert use it for hiking and usually carry 15 to 20# in it. I would say safely would carry 25#. If your looking for super sturdy, I would recommend army/navy surplus. They have a great selection and do carry sylish backpacks as well.

I can't say it won't ever break, but mine have lasted quite well. Also replacement bags are fairly reasonable -- unlike another I've owned.

i would say yes , very well built pack,i have an ultra day pack and have carried 30 to 35 pounds in it

yes, this backpack is very lightweight and durable...I believe only 2 lbss. I've ordered several for the company I work for and everyone seems to really like them.

i've found it to be very durable ... no signs if strain. I do not, however, carry that kind of weight in my bag. Have you considered saddle bags and a mule? ;-)

The product is very durable I had it in my back pack for almost a month as I teated it in several locations with mixed results. I was never once concerned with breaking the product.

It is made of rip-stop material and even if it were to get a tear, it wouldn't go far. But yes, the material is pretty durable as well. This is a great exterior frame, backpack.

It's really sturdy - my husband uses it for work. He carries a laptop and several books (typically hardback). I would guess it can hold probably 20lbs? He really loves it - it's very rustic looking with thick leather. He uses it with the shoulder strap and not the backpack strap - the straps are not designed for comfort (they aren't padded), but they are fine for carrying to and from work. Hope that helps.
