I think this is one of the best all around backpacks. It's a tremendous value, carries well, has all the features most people need, and it's under 3 lbs. Two things that really make this stand out to me. One is the J-zip, which allows great access, making this super convenient for trail and travel. I have this on my (much larger) Mountainsmith Mountainlight Spectre and looooove it.

The other thing is the great breathability that the arched / stretched mesh frame provides. This is similar to the Osprey and Deuter (and even Zpacks Arc) design that people love.

At first glance, I didn't like that the side compression straps go across the zipper, as that gets in the way of the zipper opening. But smartly, Marmot has made the ladder locks removable and provided a pair of loops for each strap - one loop on each side of the zipper. So my fear was unfounded as you can anchor the compression strap either way. I don't have a great picture of how it unlocks so I'll try to post that later. At least here is an example of the compression straps anchored to different points on each side of the bag:

DannyMilksHere's a close-up of the clasps around the side compression straps. You can see there is a tiny wire gate, almost like a carabiner, that enables you to attach it to different compression points.

DannyMilksAll great features. I love that Marmot puts two gear loops for poles / ice axes etc.

DannyMilksCompletely agree with you. These packs are for sure under rated and come with a really great feature set. Giant J zip allows great access to the pack and the multi placement side compression is really well thought out. I also think the back frame and tonal anodized aluminum wrapped frame is super comfortable with the mesh trampoline. Own one and love it. Fast light and strong.
