This pack is superb. It has tons of room for everything (it can easily fit a rope bag, helmet, rack, food, elephant, etc.) and the quality, as expected, is top notch. The best features by far, however, are the ability to open up the pack completely (the open access to everything inside is a huge bonus: so easy- plus, you can access the main compartment through a zipper in the front pocket) and, in that condition, use it as a camp chair. It's not quite as sturdy in that role as a Crazy Creek, but the fact you can do it at all with a pack is amazing. The side zips are large, chunky beasts that I can see lasting a very long time even with a lot of use. They don't have the water tight feature of many Arc'teryx products, but I think that's a benefit with the kind of use this pack will most likely be receiving. The roll top closure is solid and really easy (just a one fold motion and then you tighten down the side straps). It allows you to jam the pack almost completely full and still close it. This is a very comfortable, versatile, and tough bag... if you're strongly considering it, just go for it. You'll love it!
