The reviews here pretty much have this on the dot. I disagree with the comment about the buckles not holding on the waist strap though. I'm a slightly bigger guy with a healthy stomach on me and I've had no problem with these things, even after a heavy lunch and a beer. The roll top closure makes this pack a prime choice for traveling too, nobody is going to get inside the thing without you knowing. Just keep the valuables out of the small zipper accessory pocket. Didn't write this review to argue though, I just wanted to let everybody know this is extremely hydration compatible, contrary to the stats backcountry loaded up for us. (no offense backcountry, I love you guys) In fact you don't even have to rig anything, it is already there, with a little water drop symbol to show you if you don't understand what the little corner patch behind your head is for. Like I said, great pack.
