Great design. This pack is just what I needed for a day hike not requiring to carry too much stuff. I tested it at home with 2 full nalgene water bottles (I don't use hydration systems) and some stuff for a day hike. This pack has many pockets to organize small stuff and is large enough for a 1000 cu pack. However, the one size fit all did not work for me. The harness was too big and I could never adjust it to get the pack snug. The pack was sagging and as a result was uncomfortable. I am 5'4" with a small frame. This pack has a taller woman in mind. I was disappointed because I swear by Gregory's packs. They always fit me. A shortening of the shoulder straps would work perfectly well. But for small women it is impossible to adjust the harness straps and get it to the right size. I am looking for a very similar pack that fits because the Maya would have been perfect. I give it 4 stars anyway because the pack is great without looking at the sizing.
