Pros: HUGE capacity for all your stuff PLUS a 3 liter hydration bladder. Special soft pocket for sunglasses, clip for keys, zippered pouches, and exterior straps for your helmet and body armor. Ventilated back panel keeps your back cool while giving you a feeling of balance. Snug fit with tons of adjustments.
Cons: Weight - this thing weighs more than 3.5 pounds with an empty bladder! Fill the bladder and you're looking at nearly 10 pounds without any gear. A bit spendy but worthwhile if you like to haul a lot of gear on the trail.
Recommendation: I love this hydration pack. Up until now I haven't been a fan of Camelbak-type products but this thing is way too comfortable and fits all the stuff I need on the trail. My first ride I schlepped an 8mm video camera and DLSR still camera plus a pump, sunglasses, and clothing and I hardly knew I was wearing a pack.

Cons: Can't think of any.
Recommendation: I love the H.O.S.S. - I used this pack to it's capacity on a 4-day mtb trip and it didn't leave me wanting once. A great day pack or get-it-done pack. Highly recommended!
