Mountain Hardwear Splitter Backpack - 2150-2350cu in

Item #MHW0863 | 4 in Stock
3 Star Rating

needs some changes

By Ranked #194 - Daypacks - Technical July 7, 2009

over all I thought the bag was pretty cool,but my problem was that when you load a full rack into the bag it pulls the top of the bag down which makes the load lifter straps a moot point which means a long hike is out of the question. my suggestion would be, if your going to put gear loops in the top of the bag, it needs to have some rigid support so that it still functions like a real pack. I know that I'm trying to use it for something it was not intended for, so for short walks to local crags, its great, maybe they'll make a long distance version next.
