I ordered this pack from amazon on may 22nd and just got out to use it these past couple days. While I was packing the night before I noticed where the pack is sewn onto the spindrift has about an inch and a half separation. Nothing is torn and it didn't get any worse the one night it's been on the trail, but if you're handy with a needle and thread it should only take a minute to sew together. It's just a bit more pack than I need and amazons return policy is 30 days and I'm at 31, so I'm out of luck. I paid 199$ looking to get 135$
