I had to replace my Gregory Keeler that I used for one summer with the Baltoro because it got stolen. This pack fits very well and has a couple different features than the Keeler. First, this pack comes with a Nalgene water bottle holder on the side. I've found that you can grab the bottle out while the pack is on, but it is almost impossible to put the bottle back. Also, this pack does not have daisy chain loops on the back for hanging gear off of at all, which is very disappointing. It only has two large pockets other than the main bag area. I have to store all loose items in ziplock bags to keep things separate in the large pockets.

Lastly, the top cannot be made into a day pack like the women's Diva. It is not equipped with the appropriate straps which seems a bit cheap.
