Only issue I had with it is the common complaint about the 9 clasp that holds the brain down when pack is not full, it kept detaching. Changed it out for a proper buckle (.75 inch sea to summit field repair buckle)
First off you have to decide how big a pack you need. 15-20L is fine for 6-8 hours if everyone carries their own stuff, and you aren't in desert heat. If you have a partner or kids, 25-35L might be nice, especially if you have to pack in jackets. The 35L packs are a really versatile size. They can be lashed down with straps to get small for day hiking, and they can be expanded for overnight primitive camping.
If you are going to carry much liquid, I'd suggest getting a padded hipbelt. A padded, ergonomic hipbelt can make carrying around 40lbs. very comfortable. You'll never carry that much for a day, but suffice to say that a good hip belt makes a pack feel light. In a properly measured pack, the straps carry very little weight. The hipbelt is the workhorse.The little 3/4" hipbelt on this 35L one would truly suck to carry 20lbs. in for several hours. You may not carry that much for a day trip, but I sometimes like to carry beer or a bottle of champagne, and liquid is pretty much the heaviest thing you carry.
Everyone is different. I'm a big guy, so adding a pound or two to a pack to get Cadillac plushness is my preference. Other people will sacrifice comfort and durability for ultra-lightness. If you can, go to an outfitter and try some packs on. They will have sandbags to throw in to feel some weight. You don't have to buy from them if they aren't competitive.

There's nothing wrong with having multiple packs. Friends might need them. So, don't hold off a season if that means not hiking. You could get this bag and another one later.
FYI orders cannot be canceled so make sure the order is correct. My order went through without the coupon activated (my fault) and I immediately tried to cancel. No go. The cancel order button isn't clickable (customer support acknowledged this feature does not work right now) and customer support both on the phone and chat couldn't cancel my order. I have to ship it back to them once I receive it.

Got the 25L Bay Fog...and when posting this comment I almost bought a second even though that's obviously unnecessary!
