Luxurious for the weight
The sleeping compartment isn't huge, but this pack will carry a LOT of stuff and is set up to keep everything reachable fairly easily. The fit can be micro-managed by swapping out the shoulder straps and/or hip belt, as needed (do this before using it for anything, as once you've used it, you're stuck with returning the whole pack). One bummer is the outside back pocket mesh can come unglued, but I got that swapped out and haven't had it happen with my second one. The only way the could really improve it would be to make it lighter, but then it probably wouldn't be as durable.

Big pack, very comfortable
Was looking for a good pack for longer, all weather trips. This pack fits the bill. Lots of compression straps and a great harness system make it comfortable and versatile for long or short trips. Just be careful, with this much room you'll be tempted to take everything you own.

Great Backpack
I walk from Boise Idaho to Yellowstone National Park every year, where I work and have been through several backpacks. The Osprey is by far the best pack I have had thus far. It is comfortable, large, light and durable.I will be traveling from Yellowstone to the east coast this fall to really test it out, but so far I am well pleased.
