Nice looking pack but it just didn't feel good on. The waist belt is very stiff like a crab claw which makes it hard to put on. The padding on the shoulder straps is plush. I don't care for the mesh back panel. It seems it would be easily snagged and ripped but it does allow air flow. The interior was roomy and there are pockets on the outside to hold some things. Seemed to be really "strappy." Lots of dangling straps that made me feel like I was wrestling an octopus. I know this is a popular pack but I'm not crazy about it. I sent it back.
