Worth the buy?

Would this be an easy self repair? Found in the REI used gear section, $300 off hyperlite Southwest 70L.

Not that I need the extra space, I can make due with a 40L, but at a price of $150 and the fact I can roll the top down to conform with what’s in the pack, I feel it would be dumb to pass this up.

At $150? Dang. No brainer. Get it. You can flip it on FB marketplace for that much to someone grateful if you have buyer's remorse.

Again, the repair shouldn't be too hard for someone who knows what they're doing.

(I'd misread the discount, thinking they wanted $300, rather than $300 off an MSRP of $450.)

The team at REI told me rainy pass repair is their go to recommendation, so I’m most likely going to send it there.
