This was a killer deal! Purchased in "good" condition. The exterior is a little faded, more than I had initially hoped; being a lover of DPM. This sensation, itself, eventually faded as the pack is in great condition and ready for any field work. This does not have a frame, but instead a padded back.
It has one large storage compartment, with a drawstring closure, very similar to an ALICE pack. The storage compartment on the lid is typically where one would store a rain cover; but on its own, it has enough room for a helikon-tex poncho, helikon-tex mapcase, and an Arktis stowaway. A decently sized compartment!
As a protip, make sure to source DUTCH side pouches! Some of the British variations have different and opposing zipper orientations, causing some of these pouches to attach upside down. Something to keep in mind to anyone looking to upgrade. It wouldn't be the end of the world, either.
This was a damn good deal - I regret not picking up the sting along with this.
