Adjusts to fit many!
Likes
Lots of options to adjust the fit to you, additional bag to fit water seems like it will be useful - have not used it yet though.
Dislikes
Bottom straps are not removable, Pocket on hip fits phone, but could be slightly large to fit phone with a case on it. Takes a little extra time to get phone out and snap a photo!

Comfortable and handy
Likes
Love all the pockets, rain cover. Huge holds everything I need. Even the bear canister. My old backpack was totally taken over by the bear canister. Comfortable. Great top loader with three large of pockets. The inside zippered pocket is great for stowing important items you can't afford to lose. Huge outside zipper pocket. Clips for poles work--not as easy as Osprey, but they do work. May need a little assistance from a hiking partner to use them without taking off your backpack. The compression straps clip on and off, a very good feature compared to maven. Can't beat the comfort of this pack adjustable for short people--that's me.
Dislikes
The summit bag is a waste of weight. It's too small to carry enough essentials for a day hike, although I did hike with someone who used it for this purpose. It appears you can use the straps for holding a bag or tent on the bottom of the pack to use as a waste belt. You'd have to be pretty close to the summit or have perfect weather to use this. I may leave it home next time I go backpacking. Prefer the system on the Maven 35 I bought. Removable sleeping bag divider is too small- leave it home.

Great access points; top, bottom, an inside divider and a lot of side pockets. I love that It comes with a reservoir sleeve that doubles as a day pack; this will eliminate having to pack an extra one.
Dislikes
Waterproof hip pouch is too small. My iPhone 6 will only fit without a case on it. It's the one reason I would've loved this option. Now, if it's raining and I am case-less, I won't even pull out my phone. I wanted to minus only a half a star for that (but no half star option so went with the full star deduct).
