Steve –
Three for three! All IRs are excellent, even though tester impressions differ. Edits below in the standard EDIT/Edit/Comment format. After revising you may upload. Don't forget to delete your Tests folder copy.
Cheers, Richard

### LOCATION: Carmel, Indiana ###
EDIT: Carmel, Indiana USA
### PANTS SIZE: 34x30 in (86x76 cm)
BOOT SIZE: Men's US 10.5
PACK SIZE: Medium ###
EDIT: You're the only Baltoro/Deva tester to include such things, but you picked the wrong ones. Substitute chest, waist, and torso measurements, as they are what are relevant for a pack. In my experience there's no standard size Medium for a pack, but that one may stay if you wish.
### The Baltoro is an awarding winning backpack###
Edit: award-winning [with a hyphen]
### The daypack doubles as a hanging reservoir sleeve, but there is also another internal attachment point inside the packbag should the backpacker decide not to use the SideKick. ###
Edit: not to use the SideKick for this.
### They are girth-hitched (or larks headed) ###
Edit: larks-headed [with a hyphen]
### The hipbelt has a pocket on each side. One pocket is mesh and the other one is coated with WeatherShield PU and uses an YKK AquaGuard® zipper ###
Edit: a YKK AquaGuard
### There are exit points on either side of the packbag allowing a hydration tube to exit the pack and attach to either shoulder harness, however, the harness on the right side when worn has a clip on the sternum strap designed to hold the water tube in place. ###
EDIT: Change the comma after "shoulder harness" to a semi-colon. These are actually two independent sentences.
### Also the weight conscious backpacker can remove the SideKick the rain cover and even the top lid if they wish. ###
Edit: if he wishes ["backpacker" is singular so the pronoun should be as well]
### . Perhaps one of my cook pots will fit in their nicely. ###
EDIT: in there
### One feature I that really excited me ###
EDIT: Delete "I"
### I also like having the intergrated rain cover, ###
EDIT: integrated [spelling]
### so as not to comprimise other gear stowed in there. ###
EDIT: compromise [spelling]
### Weight management of my gear is important, but way a pack rides primary for me. ###
EDIT: the second clause is garbled – maybe ""but the way a pack rides remains primary for me."
### The pack is load with features ###
EDIT: loaded
###The WeatherShield pocket size is clearly the only thorn I can point to after this initial report. ###
EDIT: Initial Report [with initial caps]
