Very well done pack, the best thing about it being stability. Not as plush as others, but I don't think it would be as stable if it were.

One thing I disagree about the above review is the side pockets, they don't fit a nalgene bottle and I think they're only wand pockets. The compression straps on the side have a clever system to release whatever you strapped on the side without decompressing your load.

I wouldn't recommend this product to people who like all the bells and whistles possible, but it is for the crowd who likes a practical balance between durability (take a look at the fabrics and stiching), weight (>4lbs), and features.
