I bought this several years ago, just before they changed their pocket design. It has only been used on a dozen overnighters, when I brought my bulkier hammock set up and the mid. So it’s never been used with a load over 25lbs.

There are no holes in the cuben. There is dirt on the bottom of pack from setting it on wet ground and some dirt marks on the front/back. Unavoidable with white Cuben. They may wash out.

The side straps that buckle to the top corners are included. I just took them off.

The pack comes with HMG’s black detachable pocket and water bottle holder.

For size reference, I’ve got a 22” torso and 38” waist and the pack fits great. The padded part of the shoulder strap is 18.5”. The padded part of belt is 29” across. From buckle to buckle it is 52”.

Hope that helps. Thx for looking.
