Mountainsmith Ghost Backpack - 2800cu in - 2004

The Mountainsmith Ghost backpack is a mid-sized, full suspension pack with the versatility to serve as a day pack, an overnighter, or an ultralight backpack. Backpacker Magazine called the Ghost, “The best pack we've found for ultralight packing…ample load control and superior freedom of movement for scrambling or even climbing.” A fiberglass hoop load transfer system distributes weight evenly throughout the pack, allowing this featherweight to haul up to 30 pounds of gear, food, and water. The Ghost, part of the revered Mountainlight series, is also a water hog. It's equipped with a hydration reservoir pocket with a shingled tube port (so rain can't find it's way inside your pack) as well as two large mesh water bottle pockets. This easy-access panel-loading pack is simply the way to go for versatile mountain exploration.

Bottom Line: A versatile, featherweight pack with full padding and suspension—a rare and excellent combination!

This pack is comfortable, it doesn't get hot and sweaty round the straps (in Texas) and is BIG. One big compartment provides for easy packing and unpacking. I lashed my axe on easily; everything fits for weekend excursion.

GHOST

This pack is great for short weekend jaunts and even dayhikes since it compresses very well ( I've even used it as a carry on) but when it comes to anything longer than an overnighter you'll be hard pressed to find room for all your stuff. On the plus side the suspension, with its innovative frame design is one of the best I have tried for carrying under 36 pounds. Mountainsmith really did a solid job on craftsmanship on this pack.

Fantastic pack!

After 850 miles of the AT, I decided I wanted a pack with a hip belt instead of the 14 oz sack with straps I had been using. I picked up the Ghost in Rockfish Gap, Virginia and used it all the way to Katadyn in northern Maine. I don't have one complaint, it performed perfectly! If you can't fit all your stuff in, you've got too much stuff!!!!
