1 Awsome little pack

I havent even used this pack yet but was amazed at what i could fit in it. The last pack i used was an 85L Gelert explorer (which i still love) that i used on a 2 day hike at Glacier National Park. That pack total weight for that trip was 75LBS. I probably used a third of the crap i loaded in it and therefore decided to find a midsize pack to downsize and lighten the load for shorter excursions. I am not a minimalist and enjoy my comfort even on short trips. Before i took the tags off i decided to preload this pack. In the sleeping bag compartment alone, i currently have a kelty crestone 1 solo tent, a Karrimorr global traveller 700 sleep bag, a GSI dualist cook set with propane cannister and a msr pocket rocket stove. I also have a Katadyn hiker water filter and a small coleman 3 aa cell lantern. In the main compartment I have preloaded 2 full changes of clothes a waterproof shell, a 3L camelback resovoir( with 1.5L of water) and about 4 pounds of dead wgt to simulate food and miscl items and this pack is still asking for more!!! I havent weighed this load yet but when i slipped this pack on I could'nt believe how comfotable and balanced this pack was on my back!!! Excellent buy at a good price for a pack of this quality.
