Compared to an older Dakine Heli pack, which is the most recent pack I've been using-this rules. Very user friendly with all the stashes you need. I now consider hydration compatibility a necessity in a pack. I also love the pockets on the waist belt and the soft goggle pocket. The size is also just right as it doesn't allow me to pack too much crap, just the essentials.
