Ranked #439 - Weeklong Packs (Over 4500 cu in)
May 17, 2009
Suspension bars break on the pivotal system. Once broken, they turn in to kidney pokers. Ouch. Will report back with TNF repair update.Holds a ton, comfortable while unbroken. Quality is suspicious.
Repair update: No dice. TNF offered me a prorated refund after reporting that they could not repair -- parts are no longer available. Bummer. Going back to Osprey.
