Is the side access zipper only on one side of the pack? If so, how long/useful is it?
It boggles my mind why pack makers don't put zippers on both side of the bag. That way, you have even better access.

I hiked the Appalachian Trail this summer with this pack, so I know it well. The zipper being on one side isn't a problem b/c you won't use that zipper anyway. Every serious hiker I have ever met has a trash bag lining the inside of the pack so you can't access your items from the side, only through the top. The answer above is also correct, this is a way to save weight b/c every ounce on a 2200 mile trip counts. If you are considering this pack, get it! Great pack and great company.

Only on one side, and I would guess that they don't put one on the other side to save weight/money. Just a guess though...
