I've hiked in the Ozarks, the Rockies, and Kauai's Kalalau Trail and this pack has never left me saddle sore. It's streamlined design is almost a hybrid of an internal and external frame pack. I like it so much I bought the smaller version for my wife.
The side compression straps are great for shoving a Therm-A-Rest chair, an empty gallon water bladder, and a backpacking saw into. Since it's an external frame pack, you want heavier items toward the top. Most cook sets will fit in the top removable pocket that doubles for a day pack. Extra pockets are located on the back of the pack and not the sides like most external packs. Great for storing rain gear and small items. The loops down the middle can be used to hook sandals and nalgene bottles to.
You can't beat the versatility of this load hauler. If you're like me and not a minimalist, this is as good as it gets.
