I dig it. Has plenty of room for even a several day outing, although I'm a bit of a minimalist. The hip pockets are really convenient, but they could have put them more forward. Be warned: if you someone who loves padding the shoulder straps and hip belt is pretty thin. Not mentioned above is that it indeed does have a small mesh pocket under the lid.
Also if you are using a 3 liter size Camelbak the holder for this expands into the main storage area, so that much water takes up a bit of space.
