Where to Buy
Reviews Well, it's lightweight.  by: on: 23-Jul 2010 I picked up this pack with the intention of using it for multi-day hiking/camping. What I've found is that the pack is comfortable with about 30 pounds, more than that and it becomes a bit of a struggle to keep the thing from moving around too much as you walk. I've yet to find a good way to lash a hatchet to it, and as a result I ended up placing my hatchet in the top compartment. The pocket for the hydration bag will only hold a 1 liter, 2 liter puts it too far over the top. The bar inside the top compartment which is intended to hold the pack open and provide more stability for loading and unloading is extremely fragile. You can bend it very easily by hand, seems to be aluminum, I suppose they made it from that material for the weight, but if you have the pack loaded down it quickly bends out of shape. I've not really had an issue bending it back, but I don't feel that I should need to. Overall, it's a decent pack. I wouldn't use it for more than a 2 or 3 day trip, but for that purpose it works well. View All External Frame Backpacks |
