So far digging the venture 1800. love the compression straps and the fact that you can move them around. carries weight very well once you tweak everything (belt,chest strap,shoulder straps,etc) The verde camo pattern is bad a** and bag feels very much high quality. strapped my sticks to it no problem. I will say that if you are a gear hog, you might want the 2300, especially you cold weather guys packing all kinds of layers, for me cold gear is usually just a hoody in S Louisiana. All in all very satisfied with it so far but time will tell and with the sale right now, you wont beat it for 99$
