I own SO MANY backpacks including many HMG packs in this series and i find them to be my favorites if they fit you they are basically perfect. Well built, carry weight well, everything is exactly where it should be HMG have really perfected this design and it shows. Basically waterproof and they hold up extremely well I’m stilll using my original Southwest purchased more than 10 years ago or so most of all and it’s still going extemely strong. This one is a great all-around design and great for beach/wet environs anywhere you may have gear to dry out as you hike (or climb). I’m 6’1 with a 17-18 torso and a size M is perfect

I have the junction 40 in black, this is my 3rd year owning it. I really enjoy everything about this pack. Sometimes in winter I wish I bought the 55 liter because you can roll it down to the 40 liter, but have that extra room for winter layers, or a longer food carry. I have been through rain and snow and never had any water leak in. I also use dry bags( hyperlite dry bags) for down and clothes. It’s a little expensive but you get what you pay for with this one. After 3 years there is a little wear at bottom near hip belt but that’s it. I also use a compactor bag inside. I can probably fit 4 or so days of food with all my other gear.

The Junction 55 is a great backpack. I won't typically use it for over 30 lbs, but under that it has proven to be very comfortable. Above 30 lbs, it seems to pull a bit heavy in the shoulders, neck. I'm between 5' 9" and 5' 10" and have a 19" torso and went with the large size which seems perfect. I've had a bit of tearing of the mesh in the back, so it needs to be handled kind of carefully.
