Finally got a chance to take it out for a spin over three days this week and I'm extremely happy with it. Thankfully the sizing was right for me (6'2. 88 kg. Broad shoulders). I went for the 18" torso and 17.5" shoulder straps. It's quite daunting to get your head around the adjustability of the pack at first but just keep playing with it and don't cut anything off too soon. I have cut a sensible amount off the sternum straps but that was a fairly easy decision. I still may need to adjust the shoulder straps more (these are a lot more tricky to get right). However you are left with quite a bit of extra so I sourced some tiny black elastic hair bands so I can fold them over and secure them. This has worked very well. Overall an amazing pack. Build quality is too notch and I can't fault it at all. Very comfortable with about the 9 kg I was carrying (haven't gone over that yet). I can reach water bottles and front pocket easily and the pocket underneath is much better than any side entrance pocket I have used. I look forward to using it for a thru hike of the Hexatrek this summer.

Beautifully crafted pack. My first pack with the running vest style straps, excited to get out and use it and see how the Aluula Graflyte fabric performs

Without comparison, the most practical and comfortable frameless I've used.
