From Altrec Outdoors:
"A female specific version of the G Pack and winner of the Backpacker magazine's 2005 Editor's Choice Award, the Iris Backpack for women cuts significant weight without compromising comfort. The innovative design incorporates side Wraptor Stabilizer straps that pull the pack to the lumbar, and a stiff contoured Internal Thermoformed Exo.Frame sheet that follows the body with torsional flexibility. This structure is then enhances with a chimney backpanel to maintains volumes of ventilation. A superlight weekender, this midsize backpack carries effortlessly moderate loads up to 30 pounds with all day comfort. The top panel zip loading silicone packbag opens wide to store a well-considered lightweight gear list for fast pace weekend adventures. Low profile front and side mesh pockets, water bottle holster, mesh waistbelt pockets, and hydration sleeve with port, keep things well organized for quick access when needed. When venturing more off the beaten path, dual ice axe loops with keepers give carrying versatility. As Backpacker declares, no other sub-3 pound weekender can carry moderate loads as snugly with such efficient load transfer as the Gregory G Pack ."

"I've had this back for a little over a year. Used it as a travel carry-on, for day-hikes and for hill walking in Scotland. As with my Gregory Reality, fits wonderfully. Well-balanced, with good compression straps for small loads. Holds wet and cold weather gear, first aid, and all necessities for walking in the Scottish highlands."

This backpack is not the garish lipstick fuschia it appears to be in the pictures! It's actually a nice, deeper rose/magenta/burgundy type color.

More importantly, the adjustments are great and I love all the pockets. Honestly, I haven't packed it full and hiked around with it yet, I got it more for the things I tote to work and back, especially on days we take the motorcycle but so far it's very comfortable and well suited to my size in the xs version.
