| 'WELL SPECIFIED LIGHTWEIGHT BACKPACKING 'SAC.' | | Strengths:
Weight. Mine is down to 900g afer removing the back padding (you can use an inflatable matress in there instead) and other little loops. You can lighten it further by removing the front pocket, and the hip padding (which i havent done). Cavernous lid pocket and two massive pockets in the hip belt swallow oddments you might need during the day. Handy side and front pockets too, ideal for stashing wet gear, or the rubbish bag.
It carries the load reasonably well, but i find it digs into my armpits slightly. Dyneema fabric is also very strong, i dont find myself treating the pack with undue care as i have to my OMM32. | | Weaknesses:
It's Orange, and not available in any other colour.
It has a silly string system to close the rucksack as opposed to a sensible buckle. This really annoys me, but might be OK for others. | | Overall:
A decent rucksack for overnight trips or even longer. Carries well with a small load (i used it as a winter pack last year) or when stuffed full. It's versatile too, having useful pockets unlike some of the US packs (i'm definately a lid pocket man!).
I would now have difficulty choosing between this pack and the new OMM Villain, which is slightly lower in capacity, but has a sensible buckle closure, but is more of a climbing pack having less outside pockets. |
