Strengths: Bigger on the inside. Hydration compatible. Twin lid pocket. Narrow sack for scrambles and stuff. Very stable. Good harness and frame.
Weaknesses: Price? 2008 price is roughly £80. No wand pockets. Tall sack means difficulty climbing in a helmet.
Overall: Small enough for a daysack, big enough for an expedition, I used mine on ML training and can't praise it highly enough. Popular with the instructors at Plas y Brenin, which made me look like a wannabe, but they like it so who am I to complain. Harness adjusts very close for steep bits, but the back doesn't get sweaty, but the sack remains stable. Not sure about the built in sit mat, like the hydration sleeve, long back means it's comfy. Bit bright for some people but personally I like orange and red. The grade for reliability is a guess cos I haven't had it long.
