THis is my first, so I have nothing to compare it to, but it is awesome! I was debating between the 50 and the 60 L, went with this because if I had the extra space, I would bring extra stuff I probably didn't need. Took it out on a 2 night trip in the desert of central Utah and it was awesome. Felt so light on my back, and there was plenty of room for everything! (If not, you can always just strap it to the outside). Ventilation is incredible! My back was completely dry the entire time except for the small spot by my hips. No bruising on either my hips of shoulders. Love all the pockets! The straps are many, but once you get a hold of it, they're awesome. Can't wait to take this out again!
The only thing I would change is at the bottom, there are straps for a sleeping pad. They don't buckle, which would be great for easy attaching. Instead you have to take them all the way out if your pad is bulky and retighten. Not terrible for the only negative!
