I've hiked with this pack for the past two seasons and it is the most well vented pack I have. Here in the foothills of Boulder during the summer temps can dwell in the 90's and up. I'm 5'2" and sometimes it's hard to realize you even have it on. The only complaint would be that the Waist belt is not beefy enough. I think you are pushing it comfort wise when you start nearing the 25 pound capacity that this pack claims to have. I wouldn't load it up with trad gear or anything. I like to pack a DSLR camera, one or two lenses and various other stuff for day trips and this pack can end up being a little uncomfortable around the waist if you're lugging around anything over 15 pounds. The shoulder straps are quite comfortable. My shoulders are not too wide and a lot of packs don't fit me there. I love the torso adjustment on it, very easy to maneuver. All in all, I would recommend this pack if you are hauling around a lot of gear that doesn't weigh too much.
