Awesome Pack!

Just received this pack and could not be more impressed. It is large - very large in fact, but is extremely comfortable and well balanced. There are convenient pockets in the lid and an exterior pocket for things you need quick access to. Adjustable elastic straps allow for attachment of a roll, poles, and other gear. The system of straps allows you to keep the load steady and to remove any excess puffiness. I am still figuring out all of the possible adjustment points of this pack. The only confusing point is that there is a tag attached to the waist belt that suggests that it should in some way be custom molded to the owner by an official Osprey dealer and that failure to do so will void the warranty. I successfully used my pack with the waist band out of the box and it was quite comfortable. I would recommend this pack and others by Osprey to anyone..A++++
