Very nice

I really liked this pack, unfortunately I had to send it back because I needed a little more room than I thought, would have gone with the z-65 if backcountry had it.
I like how this pack is lightweight, but extremely comfortable. I felt as if everything was close to me and my balance wasn't thrown off because I had a bulging bag on my back. There was plenty of space for most of my stuff and 30 pounds felt feathery. The waist belt is very comfortable and easy to adjust, and the pockets on the belt come in handy.
The only issues I had were:
There wasn't a side pocket for a water bottle. In order to store stuff with somewhat easy access, you would have to put it in the front pouch but this would still require you to take off the pack in order to gain access to it. The only other problem was the amount of straps. While it was nice that you were able to adjust basically everything, it was kind of annoying to have 10 straps hanging down.
