i love my kuiu icon i cant say enough good things about it, it has awesome lumbar support/padding i find a lot of packs come to far down my back, but the icon sits right where it should it doesn't move around at all even when loaded to the point of bursting. lots of internal pockets for organizing your gear but still feather light. the price sucks but its wroth it in my books. i prefer a pack with a solid back support not just the aluminum staves. second would be my tenzing very comfy but not much back support for heavy packouts and third would be badlands i didn't care for my clutch much at all i used it to pack out my black bear last spring and that was enough for me.
