This pack is technically for Women but I failed to do my research until about a mounth after I bought it. However guys, it does not look girly and it is incredibly comfortable. No matter how much weight I pack it with, it still feels comfortable and light. On an overnight trip to the bottom of the Grand Canyon I used this pack and I had an abnormal amount of weight in it because I wanted to lighten some of the other people's packs in my party so that they would have a better and easier experience. I had all my stuff and alot of other peopls stuff and I still had no touble halling it. It of course has a sleeping bag compartment but the cool thing is that it has a trampoline style separator between the sleeping bag compartment and the body of the pack. I would recommend getting a compression sack for your sleeping bag because otherwise it isnt going to fit. There is not really a place for a ground pad, I am thinking about making some modifications to it so I can carry one because the ground was very hard at the bottom of the canyon and I wished I had one. You could attach it under the clip straps that connect the top of pack to the body but I used that for my tent.

It is a great pack but if you are backpacking for more than a few days it isnt for you.

  you should be able to roll a pad up and clip it with the compression straps on the side of your pack.

always has worked for me!

  Good news. If the one you have is the same as the one shown in the picture, you have the men's model. I have a hunter green Terra 40. This thing has the most comfortable shoulder straps of any pack I've ever owned.

The women's model is called W Terra 40.
