The pack is awesome. The cross carry is brilliant, has plenty of room for your extras, love the water tube through the strap (should be able to put it on either strap, though). All the features together make it a great pack. Not having the hydration bladder being included for the price is a little weak. For $80 to $100, I would expect it to come with it. I found most etailers leave the description ambiguous, so they must agree.
