Even with 70lbs of gear loaded into this pack's 5300cu inch interior, the AirScape back panel and BioForm waist-belt eliminate pressure points. Osprey includes an integrated hydration system to keep water readily available. The Argon 85 Backpack's lid converts into a lumbar pack for shorter hikes, and multiple pockets keep all your gear organized for longer hauls."

I was all set to get the Osprey. It has great features, good reviews, nice aqua compatibility, etc. etc. The salesman at REI said it is a very good pack but it just happens the pack doesn't fit his particular body style."
