Lightweight and Tough

I’ve been using the Gust pack for about a month since I got it from this site. I was worried about being so lightweight, but I had convinced myself that this was the way to go. The Dyneema material is great, surprisingly strong. I’ve thrown this pack around trying to abuse it, just to see if I could destroy it, with no results. The lack of sternum strap is not an issue. This pack is huge, but keep your pack weight under 30 lbs and you won’t have any issues. This pack is for lightweight gear!!! Also proper packing of your gear is essential to make it comfortable on the back. Not hydration compatible, but just slide your bladders down the side of your gear once you get it packed and run the hose out the top. Dynema is not waterproof so bring a pack cover as well. The smaller outside pocket is small not being bellowed, but it works. Remember this pack is 20 oz, and 100 bucks, and for that it delivers everything you could want while being durable!
