Thanks Brian. I tried Baltoro on - 30 lbs was easy & 50 lbs was heavy. Seems easier on shoulders than Osprey Aether (but didnt adjust back straps) but Aether seems more firmly attached to my back & didnt swing like the Baltoro when turning. Unlike Aether, Baltoro doesnt have tab to attach camelback in sleeve and doesnt have straps or loops on shoulder to attach camelback tube, whistle or anything else. How do those two compare to you.

You need the correct adjustments to prevent the swing on the pack. To slim it down, make sure the compression straps are pulled tightly on the sides. This will keep the center of gravity closer to your back. To get a tight feel, the two straps which are on your shoulders should be pulled tightly. What that will do will pull the top part of the pack towards your shoulders creating a snug fit. As for the camelback, I used the baltoro for a 125 day thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail without any problems with the hydration port. What I did for the tube was just got a clip and clipped it to my chest strap. hope this helps!
