Is it true that this pack doesn't have any divider between the main and sleeping bag compartments? If so, wouldn't all the content of the pack shift down when you take out the sleeping bag?
Thanks

Sort of. While this pack has zipper access through the bottom, there is no divider between that zipper and the top of the pack. So yes, if you pack your sleeping bag at the bottom, contents will shift down if you remove it while the pack is upright. The "sleeping bag compartment" (if you want to call it that) actually runs down the left hand side of the pack vertically. That is where the seperate compartment with different zipper access is. I found it odd at first, but it actually is more versatile. For example, if your tent poles are short enough, this space will hold a 2 or 3 man tent. However, since the compartment is more of a cylinder shape, it might be a bit narrow for beefier sacks. Fits my 25 deg. down bag fine, a stretch for my 5 deg. synthetic.
