This product works and feels great. Durable, comfortable and easily accessible adjustments while in use. Took a about a day of heavy use to break in the straps and compartment (heavy duty quality so i expected this) and came out fine. I skipped out on the camelback for the pack and decided to use a old 2L one i had on hand...do yourself a favor, don't skip out on the 3L bladder, it was a bad mistake on my part. Glove pouch could use wider and deeper velcro (i lost my spare gloves through a gap on the pouch on a hike because the velcro doesnt secure well enough) Overall,i would buy this and refer it to anyone looking into new or replacing a pack
