I’m really happy with this! I’ve backpacked about 50 miles with this so far with 20-35 pounds and it’s comfortable even with the heavier weight. It’s easy to pack and unpack and there’s plenty of spots to attach things to the outside of the pack. I like the pouch on the shoulder for my Garmin and there’s plenty of room in the waist strap pouches for snacks and small gear. I’m 5’8” and have it adjusted to the smallest possible so I can see where this wouldn’t be a good fit for someone with a smaller frame.
This pack didn't fit my frame well and couldn't carry 25 lbs easily. This is just my personal opinion, and everyone is different. I am 5'1" with a curvy, athletic build, used it once on a 14-mile overnight hike, and ended up with extremely tender shoulders and lower back. If you need to carry 25 pounds or more, opt for a larger pack.
I really like the bag, except I haven't really used it.
