Another question... when you've strapped a sleeping roll, tent, and sleeping bag to this backpack, does the built-in rain cover still cover everything?

If the pack is fully loaded and the roll, tent and bag are strapped to the outside, the cover will not be able to cover everything. The rain cover fits well, with a little bit of room, over the fully loaded pack itself, but that is about it. It is likely that you would need to buy a separate, larger raincover in that situation. It may also be worth considering a much larger pack that you can get some of these items inside of, mostly because internal frame packs like this want you to carry the heaviest items inside the pack, right up against to your back, to carry the load optimally.

It will depend on how much everything sticks out, I had a tripod strapped on the outside and the rain cover went over it fine with room to spare. However if you have a somewhat wide sleeping pad strapped on horizontally like a lot of people do I doubt it would cover that. I'll go see how much I can fit between the cover and outside of backpack and report back. edit: pictures below
