January 27, 2009
When Salomon bought Arc'Teryx I feared that form (retail appeal) would win over function. With the new Khamsin I see I was right. They shelved the old Khamsin 38, an almost perfect pack, and brought forth the Khamsin 40. The "improvements" come at a weight penalty of almost 1 lb. For me, a deal breaker. YMMV.
