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

 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]
