Not sure about the 3 star review, this is a great pack. Built with Osprey quality, numerous pockets and dividers in those pockets. Very waterproof, back panel seems to conform to my back while wearing gear, making it unbelievably comfortable. Looks cool, zipper on the right strap for hydration packs works great. Other reviewer said "The hip belt pockets are small, and don't have great ergonomics." Completely disagree, pockets are obviously going to be small to avoid looking dumb, I mean they're hip belt pockets... I can still fit a digital camera+ in them, so I would actually say they are big considering what they are. Ergonomics are GREAT on the hip belt, just like all the other new osprey packs.
Complaints: Back panel zipper would be nice, but only the 30+ have that. Same with the stretchy helmet holder. Straps for holding a board/skis get in the way of the zippers and have to be worked around to get the zipper down, pretty annoying. Overall I would say I wasn't THRILLED with the pack, but very happy I bought it, my #1 snow pack now.
