Pack's well-made and fit me better than the others I tried out (Dana Swiftcurrent; Arcteryx Bora 70; Osprey something). The rear access pocket into the main compartment is super. My only complaint is with the bladder pocket, which is situated high up in the top flap. Water will flow down and toward the back of the back, making all that water (110 oz) feel a lot heavier than it would be were it placed at the pack's front. But, it's easy enough to put the bladder in the main compartment.
