very nice pack, but the gregory lumbar padding just doesn't work for me. after a few trips i had rubbed my back raw too many times and had to switch to a different pack. apparently that is the case with most Gregory packs. I particularly like the mesh paneling, but this pack is full of excellent features and yet still stripped down to the necessities. Unfortunately, the fit under that foam was enough to offset all of the positive features for me and make the pack miserable to use. I could imagine the foam being quite comfortable to someone, but be wary when purchasing online if you haven't tried it out yet.
