Comfortable

Anti-gravity, 2 hip belt pockets/hip belt, separate water bladder pocket, convenient shove in pockets for rain suit or lunch. A lot of utility pockets at front. A very comfortable bag for day hikes as well.
Dislikes
Squeaks but get used to it after a while.

I really love this pack.
Likes
The pack is large enough I will be able to use it for a trip of several days. Having the water bladder in a separate pocket is really great too, as I don't need to worry about it leaking on my other stuff and also it is much more convenient and accessible to fill. The pack fits well, is comfortable even when very full, and has many pockets to stow my gear, including two stash pockets.
Dislikes
Other people discussed the noise the pack makes when you are walking. I have noticed this a couple of times, and it seems like it is when I have the straps cinched really tight. Otherwise I don't notice any noise.

Great versatile bag
Likes
Lots of pockets. Separate hydration zippered pouch so you don't have to rearrange your entire bag. Strong open pouch for snowshoes in winter. Strap on middle outside can be used for black diamond raven ice ax in place of ice ax loops. Meets standard airline carry on dimension. Top and side entry water bottle holders. Comfortable support for heavy weight. Looks small when compressed but can carry a lot of gear. Great if you're looking for one bag that you can take away for a weekend/Euro backpacking trip, winter/summer day hiking, or comfortably around town.
Dislikes
When full the bag expands outward behind you, versus up on top, since it's a relatively shorter framed bag. However that needs to be the case if you want it to hold 36L and meet carry on dimensions. The Osprey hydration hose is harder to dry I find-make sure you pinch the nipple mouth spout and drain all the water before disconnecting the hose from the bladder. This will get out most of the water.

Great for those overnighters and 2 day trips!
Likes
Great fit, love the mesh back, large volume, plenty of pockets. Love the way this fits, the hip belt is extremely comfortable and very convenient!! Pack it large enough for a weekend trip and possibly longer depending how minimalist you want to go. Gotta love the hydration aspect too!! The AG system helps keep your back cool when trekking in hotter weather. Also makes it incredibly comfortable.
Dislikes
The zippers on the hip belt can be a bit tricky at times but you can get used to them.

Fantastic bag
Likes
I bought this to carry groceries 2 miles home from the store. This bag works very well for that. It's extremely comfortable on me (5'8"/150, S/M) with great features/organization. It's durable and carries a lot.
Dislikes
The zippers on the hip belt could be easier to close. I can do it with one hand but it's tricky. I also wish there were pockets on the shoulder straps. Overall I think this is a fantastic bag so I wouldn't say there's anything I actually dislike.

Nice Daypack
Likes
The Fossil Grey Color, The Size, Comes with Rain Cover and Hydration. The Osprey AG System is really comfortable, by far the best fitting pack. Sizing was just Right for a taller person like myself. External Hydration pocket.
Dislikes
Only problem I've had with the pack on and your concealing your edc, harder to draw with the AG system.

Great pack
Likes
- Comfortable, rigid frame. - Ample space/compartments for day trips and weekend travel. - Includes hydration pack. - Diagonal water bottle holder so I don't have to take the bag off.
Dislikes
- No full length sleeves/pocket organizers for holding flat documents. Would make it nicer for travel use. - Hip pocket barely fits a 5.5" phone and is just a bit too far off to the side to easily unzip one-handed (from a fully zipped position).
