I bought this pack for an expedition through the Cascades up in Northern Washington. I am 6 feet tall and about 175-180 lbs and the medium fit me like a charm. I bought the 95 version, but the 80 is constructed the exact same way. Arc'teryx always does an amazing job with quality and functionality. Not sure if this size is the same way, but the water reservoir compartment is found under the brain. At first I was skeptical of this design, but now love it! When I have to stop to refill it, its very nice not to have to dig through my pack to get the bladder out. Everything on this backpack is very well thought out. The suspension and padding make any load seem light. If you have the money, BUY IT!!!
