Very good pack
8 years ago
This pack is very well made and the quality of the materials is good. I have used it on four trips so far of two or three nights. It's great for the 23 to 30 pounds I carry on most trips in warmer weather. If my load is much above 30 pounds I use my Baltoro because the nicer suspension makes the extra two pounds of pack weight worth it. Above about 30 pounds you start to notice the hip belt/lumbar pad is not as comfortable and you are having to pull the belt really tight. The weight spec is off a bit. The pack weighs 59 oz. Without the top section it weighs 54 oz. The detachable top section is made so you can use it as a day pack, but it's pretty small.

Well made but sags

This pack feels comfortable and solid up to 30 lbs. Above that, it sags below the waist. Adjustments do not help. It's a light bag so it doesn't have the suspension capable of the rated 45 lbs. I would recommend this for ultralight backpackers.

Solid pack

I purchased the 2014 model and used it for a multi-day back country trek to Canyonlands in April 2014. I will probably purchase the new model because Deuter added sleeping pad/tent straps at the bottom, which addressed one of the shortcomings of the pack. My take: It handles a heavy loads very well despite being a relatively light pack; I carried 48 lbs (25 lbs of water) and lightweight gear otherwise and it performed great. It is also a clean design with few zippered pockets, which I prefer. I'm glad there is no separate zippered mid-pack pocket or sleeping bag compartment. The base capacity (50L) encourages one to pack less stuff- a good thing in my mind. To pack it I used a compactor bag as a large stuff sack (I ditched the individual stuff sacks for all my gear) and it held everything I needed. I would rather attach my pad or tent to the outside than carry a large cumbersome back. It also works well as a day pack with or w/o the brain. My only gripes: it needs a second hip belt pocket (larger is necessary too) and the brain could be bigger- if the pack didn't taper quite as much this would be possible. I recommend this pack despite these minor shortcomings.

Excellent Ultralight Framed Backpack

Got mine last year. At 35 lb. with a week's food and 3 liters of water it is comfortable and carries well.
