Dislikes
Side pockets are too small compared to the coyote 80 that I was using. This pack has a taller frame, side by side compared to the 80, so there is no excuse to shrink the pockets. Now there is no accessible area for my 32oz kleen canteen like before. It will fall out of the side stretch pockets. A terrible error in the design of this bag. They should have kept the pockets the same size. I would keep knives, saw, tools etc in the other. It was a perfect setup before, just needed to lose a few liters from bag, not pockets. The trap door toggle for the sleeping bag area is a joke. A lot of companies are employing this nowadays and it is a mistake. There should be a true zipper separation between compartments. When loaded to 42lb (manufacturer suggested max is 55) it is uncomfortable. This is mostly due to the narrow frame compared to the wider frames of before, most companies are guilty of this on this size pack. They build them taller and deeper instead of wider now which is bad for us avg height broad body types.
