From Backcountry.com:
"Thanks to Mountain Hardwear's Exodus Motive suspension, the Maestro Backpack provides excellent support and comfort for an extended weekend of hiking. This Mountain Hardwear-exclusive suspension system uses Fit-Lock shoulder straps and hip belts that mold to your body without heat shaping. Lightweight Scandium tubing connects the suspension to the pack and creates flow-through ventilation matched only by external-frame packs. The Maestro Backpack is ideal for three or four days of hiking and camping, and it weighs only 5lb 4oz (size medium). Once you get to camp, convert the top pocket to a shoulder bag and take a short hike to explore your surroundings."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"You'll find this hardworking zip-up stowed behind truck seats, stuffed beneath backpack lids, and drying in front of woodstoves anywhere with mountains. Made from versatile, midweight polyester fleece (85% recycled), it has a dense construction and a low-sheared microfiber face for warmth, wind-resistance and exceptional durability; the Y-Joint sleeves ensure mobility. Zippered handwarmer pockets and a zippered chest pocket. Recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program."

From EMS:
"Designed for hauling heavy loads in comfort, the Mountain Hardwear Maestro offers unparalleled freedom of movement, letting your body twit and turn without hindrance. The harness and waist belt are moldable for a custom fit. Exodus Motive frame is made of tubular aluminum stays and a polycarbonate framesheet that's strong, lightweight and durable. Designed for technical sports where movement should not be restricted or challenged by the pack. U-Bar connects the frame to the shoulder yoke and allows for on-the-fly torso length adjustment for balance on difficult terrain. Fit-Lock harness and waist belt conforms and locks to your body shape; you get the same fit every time you wear the pack. Pack body is tied closely to the frame; weight distribution and balance are uniform so the load will pivot and turn with you. Large front pocket with water resistant zippers; top pocket converts to a shoulder bag; pack can be used without top pocket to save weight. Lower wand pockets and a water bottle pocket; dual quick-release ice axe loops; hydration sleeve with left or right ports."

Men's Maestro
Reviewed by Red Rover, Sep 13, 2006

"My wife and I have been avid day hikers for years and we finally decided to take our passion to the next level. We had no preconceived ideas about what a pack should be having never carried anything more than an 1800 Cu I daypack. After much research (including reviews on this website), we settled on these packs (my wife bought the Virtuosa pack)."
