"MS makes packs with excellent suspension. I love the moving shoulder straps rather than moving load panel idea.
For me, this pack is better if backpacking with a group or buddy. The main compartment is about 250 cubic inches shy of enough to carry enough water, food, and a tent for me...but then I could use an MSR stove rather than a larger Coleman dual fuel unit...and I could leave the cookware home and just use the stainless cup for everything.
Personally...I liked the Frostfire design a bit better. The J-zip idea works extremely well, and a single large outside pocket is more useful than three little ones!"
