Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"Deuter's Futura Pro 42 Backpack comes extra large to fit all of your weekend hiking needs. Designs like Deuter's Aircomfort system make long hikes with a heavy pack more enjoyable. The frame distributes weight equally over your torso and the mesh back panel creates a separation between you and the pack for less sweating and shifting. Side and front stash pockets included with the Futura's divided main compartment make fitting all your gear a cinch. Ice axe and trekking pole loops let you store some hiking necessities on the outside of your pack too."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"A true all-around favorite, this pack has the features and storage that fits most any weekend adventure."

From REI:
"Trail-tested, this top-loading weekender pack offers an impressive array of technical features for comfort without sacrificing ventilation. Patented Deuter Aircomfort suspension design allows warm air to escape and fresh air to circulate between pack body and wearer. Suspension consists of a spring steel frame that is flexible and light, and tensioned to support the suspended mesh for ventilation. Contoured, padded shoulder straps feature MeshTex lining for breathability and stabilizer straps for ideal, proper positioning of pack. VariFlex hipbelt pivots to self-adjust, wrapping around for increased load-carrying comfort and flexibility. Main compartment has plenty of room for an overnight or lightweight weekend trip; two side mesh pockets are roomy enough for water bottles and snacks. Top lid pocket and side bellows pockets give quick access to gear such as your headlamp, first-aid kit, sunscreen, multi-tool and more. One front slash pocket stores your map, compass or GPS, spare batteries and other small equipment. Bottom compartment features a zippered divider, separating gear and clothes from sleeping bag. Hydration-compatible design features reservoir pocket and drink tube exit port for on-the-go hydration (reservoir sold separately). Side compression straps let you cinch down loads for jostle-free carrying. Built-in rain cover can be pulled out in a flash, protecting pack contents from sudden downpours."

"Photographers take note!

I am an amateur photographer and when I recently decided to get back into backpacking, I realized that my Lowe Pro was woefully inadequate. I spent considerable time and effort trying to figure out how I was going to carry my expensive camera gear into the mountains."

"This is a great pack that does everything that it promises. There are plenty of spaces that you can store gear. I love the options that this pack allows. Plenty of little stash pockets for keeping misc. items handy.

The curve in the pack is taking some getting used to."
