Na never used one. I have about 10 packs but tend not to use any of the hunting type brands other than for day packs as most of them tend to crap out.
A one year warranty on a pack with very little reputation would put me off.
I suppose it all depends on how often you use them but an 80l it is a pack designed to carry a load and it is an investment. If the right pack was purchased it would last many many years.
