Good for some things Jan 09, 2008
By Chris Teitel
"WWII Treadhead"
I bought this pack for 1 and 2 night quick backpacking trips, when going with another person. It has enough space for most of the things you would need when spliting a 2 person trip with somebody else. I fit a 2 person 3 season tent with ground tarp and rainfly, Jet boil GCS, 3 liter water pouch, 1/2 the food, a change of clothes, a water purifier, 2 1 liter bottles in the side pockets, a blanket, and a bed roll lashed to the bottom ( a lot for a small overnight pack). I was amazed that it all fit! After mounting up and walking down the 6 flights of stairs of my apartment and then the 3 blocks to the subway, I began to try to adjust the pack for comfort. I spent the next half hour fidling with the straps and adjustments to find something that was half way comfortable. It only got worse, and we ended up canceling the trips, because it was impossible to get the adjustments right.
Instead of giving up on it, I looked for other uses. Now, I use it when going to the grocery store or shopping around town, and it's great!
The straps are too thin for anything over 15 to 20 pounds, and the waist belt only has padding for half of my hips. But, the cinch straps help reduce the size quite nicely.
It's also perfect for a carry on, as I can carry 3 to 4 days worth of cloths with no problem.
It might be good for climbers or ultra-lighters who aren't carry much weight, but I would stay clear of it if you're carrying anything over 20lbs.
