I am a pretty big guy. I am 6'4", and around 290 lbs (trying to get down to 275). I was considering the Kelty Redcloud 110 for the cost, but have been wondering about the Argon 110. Any advice? Also, does the size of the pack only refer to load capacity and space, or does it have to do with the frame size as well? I assume I should certainly buy the XL. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The AquaSource Recurve clips into the pack to carry hydration vertically down the backpanel or across the top of your load.

So i Wanted a large capacity pack because i like to winter camp, And needed EXTRA room.I have used this pack for splitboarding winter trips. and summer backpacking. with a load of about 50-60 pounds i forget its on me sometimes! This pack moves with you! The hipbelt is Super comfy! I like to have all my stuff packed inside my pack! There is so much room in this pack that you can !Some people choose a nice light weight small pack and end up rigging things on the outside and that throws off balance, things get lost or broken! The only time i do that is in winter Avy shovel, skins etc. fits perfect in the stretchy pocket. I added (not sewn just added)some compression straps just above the sleeping bag compartment from the frame to the sleeping pad straps. so i can really tighten a load. I didnt think a perfect 4 season pack existed till now! Earned every star!

Hi,
I am new to this having to ask Questions but we do not get these packs where I come from, so what I need to know is this out of these three packs what one would you lot say is the best, MH BMG 105, Argon110 or the Gregory Denali 105. I will be in the US later this year to bry one and up grade my camping gear(we pay over the top for good camping gear in New Zealand and Australia) the pack will be doing alot of mountains,river's, hills, in and out of vehicles and planes and will be loaded up to 40kg some times but mostly around the 30 to 35kg mark.
Thanks for all answer's
Craig
Kate Williamson

Hey Craig,
In my opinion, the best pack will be the one that fits you the best. I know that the Denali and the Argon are both custom-fitting (you can interchange different sized hip-belts and shoulder harnesses to better custom fit your body-type) but I don't know about he BMG...
Also, the Argon comes with a special hipbelt that is heat-moldable so that you can get an even better fit.
But really, when you get here to buy a pack the best solution is to find a store that carries both and try them on. That may be difficult as few retail stores carry these large packs so finding both in a store will be hard. But trying it on will be best for figuring out which will fit you best when loaded up with 30-40kg of weight... But I'm leaning towards the Argon 110 OR the Denali 105.

I saw "Hail to the King", and immediately thought this was the pack I would need, but I don't think so...could someone clear up doubts for me? I'm gonna be backpacking from the Northern part of Central America to Colombia. I'm expecting the journey to be 6 months(probably less). Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks!

Zach,
In terms of size, this pack would probably do quite well, being in the over 5000 cu in category. You could (but probably should not) go smaller depending on how often you plan to re-supply and how much you're willing to give up in exchange for weight savings. Do you have any specific concerns?
PS if you're traveling with a partner, you can share group gear and save on overall weight.
Happy trails!

Is there a detatchable compartment for hanging food in bear country? I know the lid detatches, but is it big enough for a weeks worth of food?
Dwayne Vincent
Member since
No, you maybe able to keep your toothpaste and first aid kit in there. But a weeks worth of food for me, would never fit in there. When I am in bear country. I take a hard walled food barrel..
you are probably best getting a rollable dry sac to hang overnight. Then place in your pack or carry separately
Phil Maher
Member since
Like Dwayne says, it won't hold a week's worth of food. It actually detaches so it can be used as a lumbar/day pack using the waist belt that stashes away. Store your toothpaste with your food though. The standing rule of thumb is that if it goes in your mouth or on your skin, it has a scent, and it should be treated as a food item. I've seen packs torn to pieces because of sun screen left inside. Just about any stuff sack will work for hanging food, as long as you can get it up 12'.

This pack is about 70% full and it still has plenty of room to pack the house kitchen sink.

Wow, this backpack is fantastic. I was a Grunt for a long time and I've used many large backpacks over the years in all shapes and sizes, but this sucker is HUGE! Dont let the pictures fool you. ;)
The good thing is the straps can be adjusted to compress it and make it smaller. The material is not military quality/thick(It's why they also so damn heavy), but the Osprey is just as strong/light for civilian use. With that said I honestly have to say that if I were to give this pack the same treatment I gave to my other military counterparts it wouldnt have lasted long.
Different materials/design for different purpose.
However with that said, compared to other civilian packs this is the best IMO. This baby has Lots of features, is extremely well made, includes the 'All Mighty' warranty, and it's made in the good old (Colorado)USA. ;)
For those wondering I'm 5'11" 185lbs and I have a Large size(Delta)
