Nice pack, fit me almost as well as the mountainsmith expanse, but the gregory was cheaper and had more reviews. Was measured by salesman to barely fit the medium, but now think the small would fit better--oh well. A couple of extra pockets would turn this into the whitney model--not worth the extra $150 in my eyes. Nice to be able to shift the weight back and forth from shoulders to hips. Made it 9 miles to base camp of Kings Peak 13,500 ft in utah's high uinta wilderness. Had it full to the top drawstring. Kind of wish it had a built-in hydration bladder pocket w/out having to strap one on, as I've needed much more hydration than the 1-liter bottle pocket holds.
