I really love this pack. I’m starting the PCT late April 2025, and looking forward to using this pack on trail. Been doing training hikes almost daily and getting more and more use to this new pack. Adjustments are super easy while wearing the pack, I’m able to easily grab water bottles from the side pockets. I’m still trying to decide on what I’m going to put in the bottom pocket. Over all if your base weight is around 10 pounds or so, this pack is awesome. Probably would be comfortable for a total weight with food and water upwards of around 20-22 pounds. Shipping was very fast and packaging was great.
I’m 5”11 bought the 30L 20”. I have an athletic build. Initial fit is good.
Dialing in the fit took some time as this pack is super modular which I love. The vest style straps can be very comfortable once you dial it in. Because of the infinite adjustments I would not recommend this for beginners.
The style/shape of the pack is interesting. Definitely a stuff full pack and dump out at camp. The shape makes it hard to use stuff sacks. You don’t use up the volume. Being a frameless pack this is important for a proper pack ride. Throw a pack liner in and start stuffing.
Only one issue: First trip for two nights. One of the vest straps sewn webbing (between the pack and strap) un raveled and let loose. It was the inside strap closes to my neck. The sewn down stitching for the strap to face backwards unraveled. Strap was still functional but the stitching is important to relive the stress on the structural stitching.
Once I got home I re-sewn it.
All in all great back pack that rides like a dream once dialed in.
