From REI:
"With improved load carrying capabilities, this multiday technical pack offers light weight with durability for full-featured hiking comfort. Perimeter-style, lightweight tubular aluminum frame provides structure without restricting movement, and it keeps pack weight low. ActivMotion hipbelt pivots as you move, delivering a balanced load by keeping it centered and stable as you move over uneven terrain. Precurved waistbelt is designed to wrap hip bones for a natural fit from day one. Hipbelt webbing system allows you to use a natural forward pulling motion for quick, easy cinching and precise adjustment. Precurved shoulder straps match your anatomy for nonbinding comfort on and off the trail. Durable molded-foam backpanel is designed to improve body contact comfort, with channels for air circulation to keep your back cool and dry. A rip-and-stick torso adjustment lets you dial in a precise fit for a variety of torso lengths. Enjoy dual access through the top-loading opening and the J-shaped, zippered, front-panel opening; zipper is water resistant. Removable top lid pocket with water repellent zipper lets you stash your essentials to bring into tent, so pack can stay outside or in vestibule. Hydration-compatible design features an internal reservoir sleeve and dual exit ports for drinking tube; hydration reservoir sold separately. Side compression straps secure both large and small loads for increased stability. Two side pockets—one zip and one mesh—hold water bottles, energy bars and other essentials you want close at hand. Hipbelt pocket stores those small essentials you want at your finger tips such as lip balm and sunscreen. Lash points on the other side of hipbelt let you attach camera and GPA pouches. Quick release straps on bottom of pack let you attach sleeping pad; tool attachment points on front of pack for lashing on trekking poles and ice axes."
