From REI:
"With all-angle access, loads of organization and increased capacity, the Gregory Whitney pack is built for those who wander.

Quick-Adjust hipbelt adjusts to five different hipbelt angles with a simple pull of a quick release tab.

Ventilated dual-density molded foam backpanel moves moisture off the back. Design offers four ways to get at your gear in the main compartment via top-loading, front panel, side and bottom accesses. 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).

Removable top lid pocket converts to a lumbar pack and lets you keep compass, maps, small essentials and raingear close at hand. Rubberlike thermoplastic elastomer covers the bottom of the pack, providing long-lasting wear and waterproof protection from the elements. Features 210-denier ripstop nylon and nylon twill for strength, durability and lightness."

With a 65# load, all the weight was on my hips, the shoulder straps were only necessary to hold the pack against my back."

I echo the sentiments of others regarding the side pockets; if these were separate from the interior or had a taller divider on the inside, they would be much more usable."

I used to live in California and Oregon. Got an A16 external frame in 1972 (excellent for its time) and a Lowe single-compartment toploader in 1986 (a great pack)."
