Anyone have any feedback on this pack?

I tried one on with all of my stuff and it felt good, just wondering if anyone has some hiking experience with it (especially as to how annoying the side compression straps really are).

I'd really like to know if it would be feasible to strap a BV500 to it (probably on the top lid)

How does it handle loads? If I needed to carry 35lbs would it destroy the pack?

The pack looks interesting, and if I do a serious bid on the PCT, I'm wondering if it would be pack enough, or if I should get something like the ULA circuit instead.
