G'day Duane, Yer, my PB suits me fine. The fit is wonderful (built to fit me in it so just right)and volume in the hatches is good for longer trips. Thats with the front bulk head moved back and used for a foot brace. Don;t have a day hatch so can slide the msr water bladders right up in the back compartment against the rear bulkhead. Am enjoying the PB and is a keeper. Good luck in 09!
