Owners: What is it like to load this pack from the top? I really like the way it comes apart, but I also want the ability to load from the top when I want to.
Is the top loading an afterthought? I haven't seen any pictures of the rolltop in action that satisfy my curiosity. If anyone has some pictures of the rolltop opening, I would appreciate seeing them!

Thanks so much for the reply! You addressed the questions I had perfectly, and I'm glad to hear that it loads easily from the top. I look forward to your picture of the RollTop, and I'll probably order the pack tonight. Have you had any issues with "zipper-creep," where the side zippers creep down under tension or just normal movement of the pack? I think I saw some small snaps to keep the zippers up... are they effective? I have a Bora 80 for my longer trips, and the wonderful experiences I have had with it led me to look for another, smaller Arc'Teryx pack for weekend trips. Lugging a Bora 80 around the crag just isn't fun!

The Miura 50 loads easily from the top, essentially like any typical top loading pack, although this pack has zippers running down each side from the lip of the roll top, which make it much easier to load effectively from bottom to top. The roll top opening is large, and with the zippers down, even larger. Generally, I clip my quickdraws onto the loops running down the interior of each side of the pack, then I cram in the rest of my climbing gear. Once it is full, you place the two top flaps together, roll and synch down. I'll work on getting a photo of the pack opening. It's an excellent pack for your climbing gear on day trips, but for a climbing trip of more than a day you'll need something bigger for your additional camping gear.
