Osprey Packs Argon 70 Backpack - 4300-4700cu in
Expedition Ready
By Sean Chism
Ranked #35 - Weekend Packs (3000-4500 cu in)
November 5, 2009
The suspension is like a dream, but lets be real 50+ pounds can't ever feal good. This pack will handle that load and you won't be in pain. It has great features like the detachable hydration sleeve, lid pocket/lumbar pack, straight jacket compression system, three access points to the main compartment, two side pockets(one is great for a water bottle, but the other is hard to reach while wearing), a mesh front pocket, and plenty of places to strap on external gear. I can tell you that this pack is well made, has total adjustability with torso length and different sized hip belts, a clever versatile design with usefull features, and the suspension for expedition sized loads. You can't ask for much more.
