Spent over two hours at Paragon Sports trying on over 40 different models. Kelty, Osprey, Arc'Teryx, Deuter, even Gregory. I knew this pack was a keeper when I first put it on -- nothing even came close its fit.

Pros: (1) Uncomparable fit. (2) It is loaded with features: Water-resistant contruction, sealed zippers similar to those on Arc'Teryx packs, hydration capatable, 2 rugged 1-liter water bottle pockets, tuckaway ice axe loops, as well as glow in the dark zipper pulls. (3) Tons of internal pockets for organization.(4) Highly adjustable design and very compresable. Looks incredible cool.

Cons: Ventilation is acceptable, as with most internal frame packs, expect your back to be slightly damp by the end of the day. Other than that, this pack is everything I want, and nothing I don't.

Overall, the best technical daypack I have ever come across; it blew me away. Materials look very durable, although I'm yet to put it thru though abuse. Don't see myself as an ultralite camper, but I could easily see this pack pulling me through a overnight or two-day trip; even though it is considered a daypack.
