I was looking at one of these the other day, got a few questions for people with them: 

If you use the bladder storage, can you feel the bladder pressing on your back?

Would you be able to fit and use a 1 litre bladder in the side pocket?

There seems to be a heck of a lot of straps on it, can you remove unnecessary ones without using a knife!

What about durability? Lots of gadgets and not a lot of weight , is there a weakness somewhere?

Is there a womens version? The people in the shop weren't that interested in helping (for a change! though they did seem to be having an important staff meeting) and I felt the straps on this M/L version felt a bit close together at the neck, might it have been a womens version I was trying on?

Ta!
