As a very tall fellow, and one that is pretty fat, I searched hard to get a pack that would fit nicely and was comfortable. This is absolutely fantastic. The gripes above sound fair enough but did not register with me. Only thing i find is that with full MBL tool kit There could be better options to secure the stuff in the flappy tool pocket.
Otherwise, i flipping hate riding with packs, but after the initial depressing feeling of putting it on, this one just disappears, even with a full leaders kit in it.
And i agree, the phone pocket is great, also works well for haribo and maps 🙂
