From Backcountry.com:
"Carrying your gear in the Gregory Palisade 80 Backpack assures that your load is comfortably balanced and easily accessible while you're in the woods on a week-long trip. One of Gregory's most popular packs for extended trips, the Palisade includes a front pocket for organization and a sleeping bag compartment with a divider that can be opened for more space. When you're making a quick side trip from camp, the lid converts into a fanny pack, so you can carry the day's necessities. Because week-long trips are usually accompanied by heavy loads, the Palisade uses Gregory's AUTO-CANT harness system to assure a perfect fit and ideal distribution of weight."
From RockCreek:
"The Palisade 80 Backpack by Gregory is a favorite for all types of backpacking and is redesigned this year with tons of new features. Constructed with the CFS response suspension (Custom Fit Suspension) that provides the hiker with an independent camming waistbelt system that automatically registers hip angle, while a customizable pivot control system that mirrors your body's movements, and evenly distributes weight, increasing both load support and comfort.The Palisade also has four different points of access into the pack: top, front, side and bottom. Dual hydration ports and sleeve allow you to get your water any way you choose and is equipped with a super durable, waterproof, wear resistant bottom panel."
From REI:
"A classic favorite, the redesigned Gregory Palisade pack features all-angle access and an updated suspension for a week on the trail. Response Custom Fit Suspension system pivots to adjust hipbelt to your hip angle; system also pivots to mirror your body as it moves. Quick-Adjust hipbelt adjusts to five different hipbelt angles with a simple pull of a quick-release tab. HDPE framesheet with twin 7075-T6 aluminum stays and a cross-stay prevents barreling under heavy loads. 3-D precurved hipbelt and harness use dual-density foams laminated to the surface fabric, resulting in cushioning without pinching or binding. Ventilated dual-density molded foam backpanel moves moisture off the back. Design offers three ways to get at gear in the main compartment with top-loading, front panel and bottom access. Side compression straps secure both large and small loads for optimal stability. Hydration-compatible design features a reservoir sleeve and drink-tube exit port for on-the-go hydration (reservoir sold separately). Features dual hipbelt pockets, side stretch pocket, hide-away water bottle pocket and stash pocket. Large front zip pocket keeps bulky gear easily accessible. Top lid pocket lets you keep compass, map, small essentials and raingear close at hand; lid pocket is removable and converts to a lumbar pack. Rubberlike thermoplastic elastomer covers the bottom of the pack providing long-lasting wear and waterproof protection from the elements. Made with 210-denier ripstop nylon and nylon twill for strength, durability and lightness."

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

It has a huge spindrift collar that could be used for an unexpected bivy on the mountains. A huge single pocket on the back."
