I love the Summit 40. I just got back from a nine day trip where we flew, went on taxis, rode bikes, and walked almost everywhere. I am 5'3" and with all of the adjustable straps the bag fit great and was comfortable, sturdy, and spacious. I had more than enough room for 10 shirts, 2 pairs of pants, 3 pairs of shorts, and enough undergarments for the week, as well as toiletries, water bottles, snacks, two books, and 2 pairs of shoes. The rain cover works great too. It poured two of the days we were out and about and all of the contents stayed clean and dry.
I would definitely recommend it for beginners who are looking for an easy travel bag.
UPDATE:
I have had several people ask if this bag can be taken as a carry-on. I have taken it on several flights with no problem. While it is technically too tall to be a carry on, I get by thing by not overfilling and then using the straps to compress the bag down. On some smaller planes they have had me gate check the bag because they only allow personal items in the cabin. Overall this is a great bag for people who are looking to minimize the hassle of checking bags at the airport and is willing to pack less rather than more.

Awesome pack! I have a men's high Sierra that I love (45L) and this one has some even better materials on it. Great buy. It has lots of room, people wonder if it's bigger than 40L, it fits about the same as my 45L. Really happy with it. Would buy again (should have bought two).
