I just received my backpack today from Sweetwater!!!!! I had preordered it over a month ago after seeing the pictures. It EXCEEDS my expectations!!! All of the fabric is top notch and the detail is well thought out. Rugged handles, rugged and water resistant zippers, loads of padding, vast storage and even some cool detail with small zippered pockets and helix branded fabric. One of my happiest specs is the deeper front pocket. I've always had issues carrying my 3" wide leather strap with other bags...Not now. Since I have owned my Helix, I have had to use the trash bag method a few times to take it out in the rain and carried it in a towel a couple others. I'm so happy to get this, going without was getting OLD!
