Not saying anything is wrong with this pack. In fact, I have a Teton sports 75+10 that has held up well. However, in this volume range, it is possible to start looking at light-weight packs. I would point to the Asolo 50-L which I also recently purchased for a high-miles, high-speed, low-drag backpacking challenge coming up:

For a few bucks more, it is 1.5 lbs vs this 4.5 lb pack.. I'm not gonna say it's as rugged, but I haven't run it through it's paces yet to say that it's not. If you keep your pack weights under 20-25 lbs, I would consider an ultralight pack.
This price isn't impressive though. Check the history:
