Arc'teryx Acrux 50 Backpack - 2620-2990 cu in
Arc'teryx Acrux in the alpine

I can’t even come close to describing how great this pack is. After years of suffering under a lightweight frameless pack, I gave up and went for this thing. Not only is it a pound lighter than the Cold Cold World backpack I was using, it supports loads better (no more jacked back), and it’s WATERPROOF. I was sure it would feel fragile, but this pack is actually really burly. I’ve even been taking on desert climbing trips without worry of it getting trashed. The profile is pretty tall and thin, so it’s a little different to pack. It’s also a bit tough to overload, as the top strap barely makes it over the top when this thing is full, but that’s a pretty easy fix. You’ll get use to the roll top pretty quick, though it feels strange at first.
