unforeseen, but intended consequences

This pack is ridiculously good. Seriously. This is one of my six packs and excepting trips where I can't fit everything inside, this is THE pack. Period. I've sold a couple other packs and am getting ready to get rid of a couple more, since I never use them any more. This pack is the perfect size for a day of climbing and it bears the loads admirably. I cannot say enough good things about this pack so I'll say a bad one: it has spoiled me and is making me spend more money. I am browsing backcountry today because I want to replace my Gregory Shasta with a scaled up version of my Deuter 42. Be careful, it could do the same to you.
