this pack is awesome. After rollin' out with hand me down packs for six years, I went and bought this guy at the local gear store and I couldn't be happier.

super comfortable. the air-contact system really does work as advertised. I bought the deuter add-on pockets, which are a little hard to get on the bottom strap, but manageable. I use these for stove/fuel and rain gear. buying these boosts this packs range considerably and are detachable for shorter trips.

I have been trying to upgrade my gear to ultralight, and I am about halfway there. This means that some of my stuff is easily compressible, small, and light weight and some of my stuff is, to put it nicely, it is old school.

The pack fit this mixture pretty well. but if you have a lot of "old school" gear, you should probably buy a larger version of this pack.

I have been on two week-long trails and three overnighters with this pack and it performed above expectations.

NO complaints and I would recommend this pack to anyone in the market for a new pack.
