Regular Condor owner here. I found that the "hydration bladder" pocket isn't quite as compatible as I thought it would be. I believe they've updated that in the Condor II, but it still might be a tight fit.

With all of the pockets, compartments, and webbing it's a great pack. I can only imagine that the Condor II is that much better. That was a big selling point for me; other packs go with the one or two compartment approach. Got tired of having everything rattling around and getting smashed.

I consider it more of a day hiking pack / BOB, not anything for overnights (unless you're super ultralight).

$105 is not a bad price at all. I think I paid that much for my Condor. Good luck whatever you decide! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
