Question - I'm considering a Black Diamond Covert Pack or a Black Diamond Outlaw - what is the difference and is it worth spending the extra $ for the Outlaw?

The Outlaw has an internal frame, and has a longer, closer to the body fit. The Covert sticks out more, and also has an ice ax carry. The Covert weights a little bit less than the Outlaw (both in the 32L). Not a big deal. I personally love the ride the Outlaw has on my shoulders, and how it packs gear, but I am also a fan of the Covert. There really isn't a huge difference that I know of, except for the internal frame. Up to you, but if the frame isn't a necessity, save the money and the weight and get the Covert.
