I'm very impressed with this pack. Osprey pays attention to the details (like a whistle built into the clip on the sternum strap) and the build quality is fantastic. Lots of places to stash gear: hip pockets, side stash pockets, front mesh pocket, gear lashes, etc.
Top and bottom access to the main compartment rocks!
Only complaint is that the lower side compression strap goes over the side stash pocket. Not a big deal to me.
I highly recommend this pack.
