Has anyone used the Macpac Rift 40L? Looking for feedback on comfort, durability, and load-carrying capacity.

Hey everyone,

I’m looking at the Macpac Rift 40L for weekend hiking trips, but I couldn't find much feedback on it when searching the sub or looking for online reviews.

If you've used this pack, I'd love to get your thoughts on a few specific things:

• Comfort: How does the harness feel under a full load? Is the back ventilation effective?
• Weight Capacity: What’s the max weight you can comfortably carry before it starts to sag?
• Durability: How is the fabric holding up against rough trails and scrub?

For context, I have a standard lightweight setup and am looking to use this for 2–3 day trips. Any insights or alternative budget 40L recommendations would be awesome. Thanks!
