Item #OSP0049 | 26 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Sweet Pack

By Ranked #236 - Weekend Packs (3000-4500 cu in) November 7, 2008

It took me a full day on the trail with a 60lb load to get it adjusted correctly but after much trial and error I've got it dialed! I went to a brick and morter retailer who didn't carry this pack but the next size up, I think it was 85l. The suspension is the same on both packs so I was able to get fitted before ordering from backcountry.com. I've only done 2 3-day trips since purchasing this pack but I'm very pleased. The option to remove the top of the pack and use it as a fanny pack (I hate fanny packs) turned out to be very convenient for some side-trip scrambling near camp. Ditto with the hydration pack. The pockets are convenient and the whole thing very well made. I would buy this pack again, for sure.
