The fabric is light but very durable. Mine gets hosed out after most trips to get the blood out of it and it has stood up to that fine. The roll lid expands quite high which greatly increases the capacity. Its water proof too.

Not having and outside pocked (apart from a zip into an internal sleeve) can be a slight pain but not a game breaker.

Its got a complicated and silly external compression system of criss cross light tapes but once I got my head around it its workable - just fiddly.

Something that I really like is that its got a decent sized mouth so you can stuff big hind legs into it. Some small packs are too narrow in the neck.

All in all its probably the best go-to day and over night pack I think I have ever used and Ive had a lot over the years.

After reading this post I thought that's the pack I need for overnight and day pack in one.
It arrived last week and man it's light so off to the Ruahines for 2 nights fly camping, the pack was awesome to carry in sat well and then had it loaded up with a whole deer and gear there wasn't any room left and it was probably 30+ kg and still it carried well.
What an awesome pack thanks @Tahr for putting me on to it.
