I purchased this one when I had to return my Eagle Creek Backcountry Alpine for warranty repair. In one word...it's NICE !! It's got features that I have on my larger packs, including a separate sleeping bag area with zip-out divider. It's got all the ice axe loops you need, and its compression straps are the only thing that I've got a minor complaint with: they aren't stitched back to help prevent them from undoing themselves from the buckle. It's got hydration pockets, one for a Platypus/CamelBak, and two that could fit the new Nalgene sport bottles. Its frame is rigid enough, yet flexible to not restrict your movement. It's definitely worth looking at.
