Perfect Mtn Bike Pack

This pack is the best there is for 3-5 day mtn bike trips in the backcountry. Easy to load, weather tight and no top lid. I've always cut the tops off because they bump into the back of your helmet when riding downhill. No more, with the cool rolltop. No silly 2 lb multi-zippered lid - just air behind your helmet. It's 1 lb lighter than my old pack and much cooler on my back. This picture was taken looking north over Lake Chelan on the way to Saska Pass in Aug 2009. I carried 30 lbs with 2 liters of water (and occasionally my bike) over a 4 day trip. Super comfortable.
