I couldn't stand it, the 20% discount sucked me in and I ordered one. I had planned to wait for the rumored BPL review, but oh well. Haven't loaded it, but the pack is pretty slick, except……..for the waist belt being sewed on off center. And the velcro for the shoulder harness attachement seems like it's in the wrong place. REI said they'd send me another one, and I could use this one until it came. So questionable QC, but good customer service.Cruise 60

Wait for the replacement.
I have last year's version, the UL 60, and like it a lot for loads less than 40 lbs. It and the UL Cruise have a lot of nice features. Yours is more durable, being made of Dyneema instead of ripstop like mine.

I haven't weighed it, supposed to be 3# 3oz. I'll stick it on the mail scale at work some time. It just worries me that the top 4" of the shoulder harness assembly don't touch any of the velcro (center strip), since it goes so far towards the bottom. This is supposed to be a large, if you moved it down there, you'd have a torso length of about 13". The color isn't as unpleasant as it looks in pictures either.
