Great pack!

I got this off a different site for $90 shipped. The bag is wonderful, I love the adjustable suspension, I've got the bag fitting perfectly. The included rain fly is also a great addition. I have know problem fitting all my stuff in the pack and it's pretty sturdy. The only problem I've had so far is the stitching in the sleeping bag compartment roof that goes to the main compartment tore about an inch, but that might be because I overpacked that compartment a little. Either way, it's holding up fine otherwise. It's a very comfortable pack and I can't recommend it enough. I think it looks quite nice as well.
Also, the side pockets are incredibly roomy. I can fit my eno, straps, and rain fly easily in one side and then fit my sleeping pad and stove and something else in the other side.
The only other complaint is there isn't side access to the main compartment, but I'll live.

EDIT: In the half year I've owned the bag, I've used it for 7-8 trips from 2-5 days long. Since then I've had three different seams tear (not from overpacking, the most I put in a side pocket that tore was a Eno rainfly and slap straps, there is more than enough room for this). The chest strap has pretty much shredded as well. I emailed Lafuma about repairs/replacement so we'll see what happens (I didn't buy the bag from BC)
