From REI:
"This lightweight multiday pack from Deuter features a light and fast design that will keep you cool on your trekking adventures. Vari-Quick harness adjustment system lets you dial in the best fit quickly and easily. Deuter Aircontact Lite suspension features a special hollow foam which creates a pump effect, forcing warm air out and drawing cooler air in. Hollow-core aluminum X-frame offers torsional rigidity, flexibility for body movement and effective weight transfer. Contoured, padded shoulder straps feature 3D air mesh lining for breathability and stabilizer straps for ideal positioning of pack. Bi-laminate foam hipbelt uses a soft interior foam for comfort and a stiffer outer foam for weight transfer and lateral movement control. Top-loading main compartment offers lots of room for your overnight gear; two side mesh pockets store your water bottles or snacks. Adjustable lid has two pockets for quick access to gear such as map, headlamp, first-aid kit, sunscreen and multi-tool. Extendable lid allows you to expand the collar, adding up to 600 cu. in. (10 liters) of storage space. Hydration-compatible design features reservoir pocket and drink tube exit port for on-the-go hydration (reservoir sold separately). Bottom compartment lets you stuff your sleeping bag or other light, bulky items directly into the pack; shares a zippered separator with the main bag. Side compression straps let you cinch down loads for jostle-free carrying. Dual ice axe loops and front elastic cord are ideal for securing gear to the front of the pack."

"I am a gear junkie and this is absolutely the best pack I have ever owned. Lightweight, comfortable, relatively cool.

I have not had any problems with the straps. The pack has very little outside storage pockets, but that is the only drawback."

"The pack was always comfortable on my five day segment of the John Muir Trail but annoyed me in a few ways:

The shoulder straps, and straps that draw the pack bag closer to your shoulders continually slipped their settings. The problem was particularly acute descending the steep and very loose Paiute Creek Trail."

"I bought this pack for a 6 day trip in Alaska because I could make it fit the 62 linear inch requirement of the airlines.

I had it loaded at about 45 pounds and it did great. First time I've had a pack that didn't leave me with sore spots on hips and shoulders the morning after."

"Where do I start. First let's talk about what makes Deuter packs different, the ventilation. The pack is BY FAR the coolest pack I've ever carried. Historically I've used North Face, VauDe, and Jansport packs. Each one left me a sweaty mess after just a couple miles."
