"Wow - The bar has been set" - Review of Mountain Hardwear Maestro Backpack - 4000cu in

This pack is very complicated to set up, and takes quite a bit of tweaking to get the fit perfect, but once you do, the fit is amazing. This pack uses more of a collar instead of the regular shoulder straps, and the load distribution is amazing. The weight goes right to the hip belt and the mobility of the hip belt is awesome. You can bend over to tie your shoes and the pack moves right with you. My only minor gripes with this pack are that there is no side access to the main compartment, it is top load only, and when I got the pack it would not adjust to the longest torso length, I had to take the pack off the frame and fiddle with it to get it to extend all the way, but besides those two things, great pack, and highly recommended!
