Nice pack

I got the red beryl in tall (i' 6 ft. tall, 185 lbs.) and the fit is great. If unsure between regular and tall, i suggest you go to the Arc'teyx site and click on the Service link in the bottom menu and look at the pack fit guide as well as sizing guide links. I have yet to take this pack out into the mountains, however the quality of the pack is the quality that one would expect from arcteryx....top notch. my only complain is that the color is not really "red" beryl, but more like "orange" beryl. They should have made it a true red color. I chose this color because my outfit is usually all black and wanted something brighter and easier to spot on me when in the mountain or backcountry. Also, keep in mind that the bottom of the pack is a bit narrower than the top, but i actually like that because it conforms to my back nicely and i don't feel that the sides are too wide. If considering between the silo 30 and 40, besides obvious size and capacity differences, keep in mind that the silo 40 is top loading whereas the silo 30 is panel loading (zips down the sides).
