A bit disappointing

I'm a huge Arcteryx fan - I have jackets, clothes, packs from them and until now, I've never been disappointed. On the good side, this pack is well made and is likely to last a long time. The hip belt is comfortable and the adjustability of the straps etc... is great. The buckles, stitching are all top rate.
But there are a couple problems. First, when you roll up and then fold down the top of the bag (which makes it pretty weather-resistant - nice!), the straps holding each side down don't pull the folds forward enough, so when you walk with the pack on, it rubs your shoulder/back of your arms. That's not a good design for long walks.
Also, the bottom half of the pack's large storage pocket is strangely small, as if the material is cut narrower there. It means you have to think hard about how you plan to pack. It just seems to be smaller than I expected it to be.
I have the green one and I really like the color - not as loud/neon as it looks in the pictures.
