I will first off admit that at times during my hike I did not have my backpack strapped on properly.. but when I did get my act together I still had a hard time finding it comfortable. For folks who arent too familiar of the art of packing a backpack - you should pack your heaviest items close to your back and in the middle portion of the pack-bag. Plan on getting a sweaty back with an internal-framed pack (which this is), too, given the fact that they are pressed right against you. Carrying 40lbs was accomplished over a period of 3 days but my shoulders were sore! This definitely allowed me to pack just enough for a 3 day trip - Im not sure of the detailed specs but the other 3 people I was with seemed to have packs that unzipped and allowed for major expansion and side pockets which this doesnt.. pockets are very helpful. It is also compatible to carry a water bladder - which is a critical requirement.. I had a larger sized one which was for 3 litres and it slid in with no problems at all. |
