It looks like there are three reviews on LL Bean's site regarding it and two are positive, one is slightly negative. It looks to be a knock-off of the Fishpond Wastach Tech Pack with a few differences to get around copyright/patent rules (addition of a waist belt, removal of some pockets, etc. As a huge Fishpond fan I hate to see their designs being duplicated in this way though I can't say LL Bean is the only company doing it. That being said if you are kitchen sink kind of person this is the pack for you.
