Here's what other sites are saying:
From Campmor:
"This classic long trail pack offers incredible capacity and load-carrying comfort at an incredible price. Features top and bottom entry points with a zip-through front pocket that provides additional access to the main pack body. Auto-Cant harness is attached to the framesheet with a single point swivel, allowing them to independently rotate and self-adjust to the slope of the shoulders. Adjust-a-Cant waistbelt is designed with a conical shape that matches the shape of the body around the hips, resulting in a direct transfer of the pack weight to the hips. Flo-Form II waistbelt padding and shoulder harness is molded from a single piece of Evasote foam, to provide long-lasting cushioning and comfort. Floating partial framesheet with twin 7001-T6 aluminum stays balance pack load support and offer greater flexibility. Chimney Ventilation Panel offers ventilation and helps wick away moisture. Packbag features top, front, and bottom access. Large front pocket with water-resistant zipper offers access to the pack body. Top pocket converts to a fanny pack. Hideaway water bottle holder. Side and front compression straps. Side mesh pocket and hydration sleeve and port. (hydration reservoir not included) Response custom fit suspension."
From Backcountry.com:
"When you carry gear for a week, you want a pack that's good to your back, shoulders, and waist. Gregory made the Palisade 80 Backpack with a pre-curved harness, a waist-belt with five adjustable angles, and an auto-cant shoulder harness system. Rotating auto-cant attachment points move to mirror the slope of your shoulders and width of your neck so you get less rubbing and hot spots while you hike. A large front pocket holds rain gear, and top, front, and bottom access means it's easy to search around without unloading all your gear. Covert the top pocket to a fanny pack for day hikes out of base camp."

My only gripe would be the top pocket, although it does convert to a small waistpack, there's not so much room in it."
