I watched a YouTube review that indicates that the M/L hip belt doesn't adjust small enough to fit the reviewer's 34" waist. He does carry higher than I like to but still. I'm also not a huge fan of packs that don't have a floating, removable lid. Anyone care to comment?

FuzzymuzzleI’m 1.83m/6 feet and I usually wear size 33-34 pants too, so I’d be interested in hearing about pack size and fitmemt too

FuzzymuzzleHey, thanks for that vid, it was quite helpful. I think Mike would have a way easier time on his hips if he carried the pack the way the build of it was intended, which was to actually sit AROUND the hips rather than on top of them. He would not have that rubbing. It is built that way to help your hips support the load, I am thinking. His other issue is the non floating lid, I like mine to float and be removable as well, however, I think if he packed his gear a bit more elongated and higher in the pack rather then all stuffed at the bottom (and used the SIDE compression straps to compress the load) he would not have to worry about the lid getting smooshed either. Just these two changes will take away 2 of his con issues, yes? I don't know how I feel about that 'sharks mouth' opening, it does seem a bit odd, but I love the side pockets, slanted side pouches, easier to load and unload water bladder feature, and the full zipper! I hike where going off trail can destroy a pack if the fabric is too thin, so would rather have a bit of extra weight there...fair trade. Oh, and not a fan of hiking in crocs, lol, but I will check out some more of his vids 'cuz he just gets straight to the point, and gives a fair assessment. :)
