Mountain Hardwear Splitter Backpack - 2150-2350cu in

Item #MHW0863 | 0 in Stock

Anyone out there know if the Splitter can fit a full trad rack...

Anyone out there know if the Splitter can fit a full trad rack (eg 12 cams, set of nuts, set of Tricams, bunch of slings/cordage/biners/etc)? If all this stuff can make it into the pack, how does it feel on your back? Thanks a bunch!

You can fit a fairly large trad rack (18 cams, a couple sets of nuts, tricams, a dozen draws, slings, etc), a 60m rope, harness, shoes, and some clothes (a shell, hat, etc) and that's getting pretty full. The pack rides comfortably when loaded this way- as others have noted, if you try to rack a lot of weight on the frame with nothing under it (via the racking loops) it will sag, but if you support that weight using the internal compression panel and the external compression straps, it works well.

Shouldn't be a problem. There is a full PE framesheet, so you won't have cams jabbing you in the back, and the pack carries REALLY well. Go for it!
