| Pack is great! The best feature, by far is the hiking pole stow straps. When snowshoeing, I could quickly switch between my ice axe and snowshoe poles. The pack itself is of typical Osprey quality - Bomber. It fits nicely on my back, even when loaded with 50-60lbs of gear. I'm pretty sure I could fit a personal chef and kitchen in there if I wanted to. |
| Hip belt is a little flimsy(although it does articulate well), and like my Atmos, the hydration sleeve is in the most inconvienient place possible in the main compartment. |

Cred: 23 | | lightweight, bomb proof, very comfortable, holds loads well, best pack I've had (better than an arc'teryx I also own). |
| would be nice if it had hip belt pocket for easy trail access, loads over ~50-60 lbs start to get uncomfortable. |

Cred: 5 | | This backpack has a great arched back, which makes it so comfortable to carry around for long periods of time. The meshed airspace between the bag and your back keeps you from getting a back full of sweat! |
| You must pack strategically, it is tough to get to the items on the bottom of the pack. |

Cred: 9 | | Very comfortable, large enough for a long trip but still light |
| Straps can get annoying, top is difficult to remove, pricy |
| Another Osprey pack since when you go Osprey, you can't go back |
|
Cred: 23 | | Great size for long trips, very comfortable secure straps, stow and go |
| Price, not enough compartments |
