This backpack rocks.
I am going on an ultralite trip around the world (Europe, Asia, etc) and I got this backpack as my ONLY bag. It seemed small when I lifted it from its box and started unzipping pockets to get a better look. After a few minutes of packing all of the stuff I'm taking on my trip into the various areas (and trying out a few configurations) I started to realize it was the PERFECT SIZE.
I know they call it a day-pack, but I would say 28 liters is a perfect amount for a trip around the world (my girlfriend is getting the 32 liter because "she's a girl").
The water bladder pocket fits my 13.3" laptop very well, and I am able to fit all of my clothes PLUS A SLEEPING BAG in the rest of the pockets.
The integrated rain-fly is AWESOME and it invokes such pride to be able to take out your rain-fly and cover up your pack when everyone else is trying to scramble to find a garbage bag to cover themselves with.
I don't have one bad thing to say about this pack. It kicks butt.
