I have the monsoon gearslinger. Very kick ass pack for light loads. Very well built and tough. This pack is VERY well balanced for a slinger, and the rubbery material on the strap keeps it from moving too much - and has a waist strap to keep it in place. Lots of MOLLE everywhere for additional stuff, and a few nicely placed pockets for items.
I use it mostly for biking, as i dont need a regular backpack; but its also great for taking to a game, because you dont have to take the pack off in order to get at stuff inside it, so you got quick access. Hydration pocket is awesome as well - it does kinda "bubble" the center of the pack with a full hydro bladder in there as mentioned before, but its manageable.
Dont carry too much weight in this gearslinger though, it gets somewhat awkward, you should get a regular backpack for that... But its perfect for light loads.
I also have a bunch Maxpedition pouches, and they are also VERY well built, very nice pouches.
