Agree with most of the positive aspects mentioned by other - Pivotal system, capacity, comfort. I could easily fit my sleeping bag, tent, Stove, Utensils, Lamp, Climbing rope, water sack + food and some beer too and still had room left.. Surprisingly i got a hip belt that was not too bad. Fits me pretty good and i'm a 32'. Downside is adjustments, there are too many and lucky for me i got somehow got it right in the first few minutes. Takes a lot of weight off your back, i had almost 35 pounds on me and yet felt very light. Only if i cold fit a bigger water reservoir.
