February 6, 2007
I just returned from New Zealand, I had the pack filled to capacity. I’m 6’4” and the large pack fit me well. I liked being able to access my gear through the side pocket, particularly when it started to rain and my rain gear was in the bottom of the pack. The AirCore suspension was comfortable and I liked being able to hang my hydration bag between the AirCore mesh and the pack. I was afraid that the AirCore system my be more gimmick than functional; this wasn’t the case, however, as my back remained cool and dry through heavy use. Finally, the pack is very tightly designed. Tramping through the lush New Zealand forest the pack didn’t get hung up on the vegetation. Now I look forward to trying it out skiing.
