Got my new 2800 the other day...unfortunately it didn't fit me around the waist. The belt was adjusted to the MAX and it was still too big. My waist is 31-32. So just keep that in mind. I had to send mine back.  :'(

I have a 2800 (older model) and it fits my 30in waist perfect. My dad has the newer model and it also fits fine but not by much. I think they have different sizes???

I love mine. It's very versatile and easily carries as much as a man wants to.

This is a deer and a 5 days camp.

I like my 4500 for packing in and out, but the 2800 is a nice day pack though I did pack in the first year with the 2800, just had to make some resupply trips.

I have a 4500 as well for the trips that my wife goes. I ahve to carry half of her stuff as well as mine. I can make the 2800 work fine for at least 5 days. I could probably even bring less stuff. the 2800 is the go to because once I'm back there I can use it as a day pack if I want. It gets almost as small as the 2200 but expands to way bigger. I have no use for a 2200.

Try to search around for the older style 2800... not as many zipper/buckle issues.

I like my 2800 a lot.  I modify everything I use but have not had any issues with buckles and definitely not with the straps.  My older one fits my 32" waist fine.
