I have this bag and love it.
I’m 6’4″ and still fits my torso pretty well. It stabilizes the loads on the hips and with the exoskeleton it isn’t a light weight but loaded feels much lighter than other sized bladder systems. The bladder does sit low in the bag and puts the hose just at the top of my shoulder (varies with system Camelback 100oz). The ball joint is probably the coolest feature of this pack and really stands out in tight single track. Ergon did there homework and brought real innovation to the pack features. I would easily use this for hiking but its features really standout on the bike. Never recall a hot back in Florida, have used it for 3 years.
