A Great Pack....If You Use it Right

I bought this pack after doing serious research on many, many packs. It is very light, and quite comfortable to carry. The construction of the pack is top notch.
My problem is this: this was to be my one and only pack for quite a while to come. I realized it would not work for me on an 18 mile one day mountain hike. I need more room then my ultra-light 18L pack, but way less room then this pack (or a pack with better clinching and far more organization options; like the osprey exos 58). I had serious, "hey, where did that bagel go??" issues. With only one huge pocket, everything got lost quickly. That being said, in the future I may get this again as a longer trip backpack, where less little stuff will get lost inside.
All said and done and very well made, light, and comfortable pack, just not what I need right now.
