Decent Rugged looking pack Large stretch mesh pockets Adjustable torso length with sizing options to fit most Thick padding on straps, belt and nice channel vented back pad Excellent weight distribution. Tested ~28# and it felt nice. Very comfortable to wear: I bought the small I am 5'8" 160# with a 31-32" waist. Daisy chain options on the belts/straps. Overall quality materials.
Dislikes
60L?? almost 1/2 capacity is in the collar extension. The actual pack body is very small. Hope you pack small. Organization options very scarce. No belt pockets. Zipper on the h2o bladder pocket? Why? unnecessary weight. Optional lid. Should come with pack. Just a way to milk more money from you. Noisy pack! It's like wearing corduroy pants.

A nice pack I use for 1-3 day excursions. Have enough room for all the necessities and not much else. I like the use of cord for cinching things down so you can replace it if needed or use paracord. The waistbelt and straps are very comfortable and I find I almost like them better than my Osprey packs.
Dislikes
I'd say the biggest drawback for this style of pack is the lack of a top compartment and having the addon being a bit pricey. It is also a pain to figure out how to install the top cover if you do purchase it. I know packs are all top access but I really wish I could get into the bottom of the pack without dumping everything out. Not a dealbreaker however.

Pack was delivered as scheduled. I plan to use this pack on my AT thru attempt. As soon as I loaded it and hoisted it I knew I had found my pack. Took a spin around the local terrain with 30 lbs and the pack hugged me like a loving child. I have a 33 inch waist and the medium hip belt fits okay. Adjustable shoulder straps for torso lengths are also a big plus. Can only rate the pack as a 4 since I have not exposed it to the rigors of real nature yet. But first impressions count a lot to me.
Dislikes
Not sure the med hip belt would work on a 30 inch waist.

I have used it twice with 35 & 40lbs, it carried both weights very well. Great construction and feel. Belt is nice and comfy and plenty of room to stuff your gear.
Dislikes
no extra zippered pockets is a downer, playtapus section is way to small, basically unusable

Very lightweight, durable pack. Nice that you can overpack it with the extension sleeve, so you can easily accomodate that big food bag that you have in the beginning of those week-long trips. If it wasn't able to be over packed, 60 liters is a little on the small side for 7-8 day trips in the shoulder seasons, but this pack can do it.
Dislikes
Minimal ability to organize, as it has few pockets (but this saves weight, so its a trade-off). Thats about the only downside. Fairly comfortable pack, but not as comfy as others; however, for packs in its weight class, it must be deemed one of the most comfortable to wear with 30 lbs in it.

Exceptionally light. Excellent frame, handles 50 lb load (and probably more) quite well. Spartan simplicity. More rugged than you might think. Super comfortable.

Ummm....
