I have the 52L version for short-medium trips and I have to say it has just about everything needed for a serious hiker. 3L bladder compatible with holes on either side, side access zipper, belt pockets for essentials, included waterproof pack cover, and even has ice axe loops and sled loops! Honestly, I could list all the features, but a good youtube review will showcase them all. However, it is still not perfect. It does not have a full front access, which could be done by replacing the bottom zipper and the side access zipper. Also, this would add the option to add extra gear tie-downs to the bottom of the pack. Speaking of attachment points, there aren't very many and more would make this 52L capable of going with me on expeditions, instead of lugging my 90L Arcteryx with. Overall, I would still recommend this pack because it is unbelievably durable, sustainable, repairable, and comes with most of the bells and whistles needed for a serious outing in any conditions. If Fjallraven added the few features I suggested, I would consider this the best pack ever made and would probably buy it again just for the extras!
