How well would this pack work for overnight backpacking in the summer months.

I'm looking for a solid pack that could serve double duty as a winter pack and work well for summer backpacking. Would this fit the bill?

Be aware that this pack is pretty small. If you are backpacking alone you're going to have a tough time fitting all your gear in there. For a two-person trip it MIGHT just make it.

Depends on how you pack, but it should be fine for overnight in the summer.
