I've put over 50 miles on this pack and love it. This is one pack I found that had all of the features I wanted: side entry to the main compartment, waistbelt pockets, adequate pockets and straps etc.

I'm 5'7", 160lbs, have the medium and it fits like a dream. I didn't know that a backpack could be so comfortable. My brother, 5'11" also bought a med. and had an issue with the lower pad, but after having the aluminum support in the base of the bag adjusted hasn't had a problem since.

My girlfriend has also bought the female version of the bag, the Jade, and after one trip had no complaints.

Overall this is a very well designed bag with the right amount of features: everything I need and nothing I don't. My one complaint is that I broke a plastic snap connector, but that can easily be replaced. I would recommend this bag to my friends and strangers.
