Mountain Hardwear Scrambler Backpack - 1950cu in
Mountain Hardwear designed the Scrambler Backpack as a streamlined, lightweight sack for multi-pitch climbs, summit scrambles, and day hikes. Pull out the foam back panel, fold the pack into its lid pocket, and bring it along on your next backpacking trip. The top-loading design gives you plenty of space for extra clothes and water, and the external bungee cords and ice tool loops let you strap on all your gear.
Bottom Line: A lightweight, compressible pack for summit bids, ridge scramble, and day hikes.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

I was unfortunate enought to have purchased the old design Scrambler pack about 5 months before the new design Scrambler was released by M.H. The old design was pretty bad. The shoulder straps were so flimsy and light, it felt really awkward on your back, very unstable. I never packed it with too much gear, just the essentials for a side hike or summit push, but it just didnt cut it. The new design considered many of the old design flaws and it is much better now. For one, it has a thin waist belt which helps keep the pack in place. Second, the shoulder straps are much better, with added padding and wider from side to side. And now, instead of just a foam backer, they added a rigid plastic along with the foam backer to give the pack side to side rigidity. It will still flex up and down, but the plastic backer gives the pack much more stability to carry a little weight. A rediculous amount of bungees on the outside make it possible to strap some gear, but i wouldnt push it with how much weight this pack can carry. 15 pounds maybe.. All in all a great summit pack or daypack with versitility and much improved from the previous model.
Not too bad.

Super light bag, pretty durable, Quite a bit of space, and very easy to adjust everything.
The shoulder straps are wicked small, and dig into your shoulders alot. If you're planning on wearing this pack for more than twenty minutes, you wont like it very much. If you can, get something else.

There was a change in the shoulder straps this year... slightly more padding. The older ones (I have two) seem as if they were intended to be used as a summit pack, used in cool to frigid temps when you have layers b/t you & the strap.
Excellent for what it's intended for

I recently took this pack for dayhikes to RMNP. I had all my gear in a much larger backpack but for the day hikes, I pulled this out to carry extra layers and water in a Nalgene.
It is not the most comfortable backpack and even though it has lots of room, it is not meant for carrying anything that is too heavy (like the previous reviewer says, the straps could dig in).
However, I like this pack because I don't have to carry two backpacks when I go on a trip. I keep it in my larger backpack until I need it to go on a day hike.
It's durable enough but it's not waterproof so be sure to have some sort of cover if you're expecting rain.
Change me.
