This pack is perfect for long expeditions that you have to carry all your gear for a climbing. Comfortable and light strong materials makes it perfect for Aconcagua or Himalayan expedition.
I used this pack while putting up a new route on a remote mountain in Wyoming and can't say enough good things about it. I carried a 70+ pound pack filled with enough food for 2 weeks, enough climbing gear to tackle the uncertainties of a new alpine wall route and camping gear, 16 miles into the backcountry. The support from the frame kept the load on my back comfortable the whole time and the durability of the pack material meant it basically still looks brand new after being stuffed to the brim and dropped on sharp granite talus a long the way. The features are very well thought out on this pack too with enough straps to keep everything compressed and sitting how you see fit so the load inside the pack never shifts around. I did not use a pack cover while on this trip and did get caught in several storms and never had any issues with the contents inside getting soaking wet. I highly recommend this pack to anyone planning on carrying heavy loads long distances
I really appreciate storage arrangement of this light weight pack. I recently carried 45 lbs winter camping. Stopping for breaks made getting snacks and water easy. The shoulder straps are a little narrow for me however I’d rather have a lighter pack and I wouldn’t have purchased this pack if it weighed 7+ lbs. make sure your fitness ability is equal to the capabilities of this pack.
I had a Kelty 105 before and it performed very well. This backpack is leaps and bounds above it! Enjoyed my first outing with it (5 day). Much better craftsmanship. Fit is amazing and it just makes the trek easier.
Used this pack on the Denali West Buttress, excellent utility, comfortable on long pushes. Held up very well over 3 weeks on the mountain. Highly recommend.
