Fits my back really well, the lower back padding follows the shape of my back so that there are no gaps. The carrying system feels sturdy and the thick hip belt really puts weight on my legs. Tested on a day-long forest walk.
The hip belt has zipper pockets on both sides, which is good, but they could be a little bigger (so that a phone could fit, for example)

Comfortable, many pockets, dries fast. Raincover runs small if you attach a closed cell foam mattress on the outside of the backpack.

I got the largest size pack so I could have a long thin pack for train travel, rather than a smaller one that would be thicker. Yet still big enough for carrying large loads for backpacking adventures. I love all the features this pack has, and varuste had the best pricing.

The chest is good and the pockets make packing easier. The only minus is that the straps press really hard on the front of the shoulder. I've adjusted everything, but I can't get rid of this. Maybe it's better for the not so fussy. The measurements are very accurate, I'm 161 cm tall and I bought a chest size XS/S. I still keep the bike and I don't plan to change. Good rain protection.
