There's a reason this pack is such a big seller, it's everything a weekend (or week-long with the right gear) backpacker needs in a pack. The first impressions of this pack are fairly light and well ventilated, but in my opinion it's also important to note that it has only the right bells and whistles.
The side entrance, angled water bottle holder, hip belt pockets, rear bucket pouch and "lifting" side compression straps (helps to keep the center of gravity higher so the weight is set on your hips more) are all features I use and appreciate every time I take this pack out. After a year and a half of use it still shows no sign of wear.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this pack to anyone.
