From Backcountry.com:
"The Arc'teryx RT45 Backpack is for those who like to get out and stay out. You know who you are, any day of the year will find you climbing, hiking, or touring in the mountains. Home is just the place that you go to for some sleep. With a weatherproof closure and WaterTight zipper, the RT35 will block rain and snow from your gear. Superb stability is the result of a semi-rigid framesheet and aluminum stays that work with the air channel back for a comfortable ride. Fully adjustable shoulder straps and hipbelt bring the load close to your body, allowing you to make dynamic moves without losing your balance. The RT45 is built with Arc'teryx's legendary attention to detail, and innovative construction techniques to ensure that you and your gear arrive in one piece. *Available for US shipment only."

"Another Arc'Teryx pack, another Good, Bad & Ugly review. Having fallen in love with my Naos 70 (http://www. trailspace. com/gear/arcteryx/naos-70/review/10820/) I needed something smaller for weekend and short trip usage. The smaller Naos I felt was overkill, so I picked up a black RT45 at Paragon Sports in NYC* when I passed through the other day."

"This is my everyday pack. I use it as an overnight pack both on and off the trail. It hauls my books to class, my clothes home for the weekend, my rock climbing gear and rope, my paddling clothes and my daytrip 10 E's. I use it for everything except extended trips."

"I love this pack. It has tons of room and yet can be carried daily for school. Iv'e used it for trips back home from college, traveling, and school and it has performed flawlessly. The rolltop is so easy to run and works great; I will never do a snaptop again. Get this pack; the craftsmanship is second to none."

"I originally purchased this pack for trad climbing and all the gear that it can handle. But just this last summer I used it backpacking for a week int the Porcupine Mts. in the U. P. and it worked great. There was plenty of space within the pack to handle all of my food, clothing, tent, and stove."

"Own both a RT 25 and a RT 45. RT 45: The best fit of any sack I have tried, though test your size carefully before buying. I am 188 cm and opted for LARGE, but soon found out that MEDIUM gave a better fit when fully loaded. Well made, but careful not to put too much into the external pockets -- the small hole in the bottom of these pockets may become clogged hindering rain from escaping -- resulting in some wetness inside the sack."

"I love the roll top. It is very easy to open and close. The pack is beefy, but you pay a little in weight - weighs 4 lbs. I would have dealt with the weight factor, had it not been for the plastic sheet inside. It would jab me in the back in all but one position."
