Bought this pack looking for a cheap pack that could do double-duty, handling long day hikes and light weekenders. While it's a nice pack for the price, the adjustability is lacking.
The included instructions (also available on Kelty's website) state that the hip belt buckle should be over your belly button. I find this uncomfortable because the waist belt then pinches the skin above my hip bones. The instructions also claim it has an adjustable hip belt. The hip belt is indeed attached to the pack with Velcro, however the material on the back panel of the bag wraps over the hip belt restricting its up & down adjustability to about 1.5 inches--and you have to fight hard for those 1.5 inches. I'm 6'1", and the bag is simply not long enough for me.
Even if I could get used to the belt height, I couldn't get the aluminum stay that runs along the spine to be comfortable. No matter how much I bent it, it always contacted the middle of my upper back, something that I could tell would be painful even before trying a hike with it.
All that said, I think the problem is simply one of fit on taller people. My 5'4' female hiking partner tried it on, and after about 30 minutes of adjustment (probably undoing everything I had done previously) she has fallen in love with it.
Her only complaint--the mesh water bottle pockets are a bit meager. Standard 1L Nalgene bottles easily slip out. (She has to slip the side compression straps over them to hold them in.)

I'm not sure why there are no reviews for this product. I'm quite happy with it. I was looking for a bag bigger than 3100 cubic inches but not TOO big (under 3600). The Pawnee 3300 fits that niche quite well. It is well made, with nice padding and the standard amount of adjusting straps to help you carry your load with minimal effort. Kelty is a pretty big name after all.
My only complaint is its lack of dedicated pockets. This backpack basically consists of one large vertical pocket with a decent size front pocket. You could use the very top hood part, which is meant to be used to hold your hydration pack, as a third pocket.
