When the main compartment is full, the reviewer says side-pocket access becomes harder because the pockets share space with the packed interior. The reviewer reports that frontward rolling can leave excess strap protruding and may become difficult when the pack is heavily loaded. The waxed-canvas shoulder straps and back panel provide limited padding and no mesh, making the pack feel warm during faster movement.
