So I haven't been able to use this pack backcountry but I am more than happy. First, you can buy this pack from Hiltons tent city for 299 and backcountry wouldn't match the price.
I am 6'3" and 240 and I bought the tall as my torso is 20.5 inches.
The sleeping bag compartment is a must for me. Also being able to get to your gear without opening the top is a must. You can by the front or side zipper. The straps, hip belt and back pad are very padded and comfortable. This pack is a beast and is rugged.
I bought this pack for my month and a half expedition in the Costa Rican rainforest. I will be backpacking and sleeping in a hammock the whole time.
