I selected the Skareb for my trek up Mt. Whitney in California. I will be taking the Moutaineering route. Though I haven't departed yet, I have been using the Sareb in my training. Three times now I have filled the pack with containers of water. Once I reach the summit, I dump the water to protect my knees on the way down. I like the light-weight Skareb. The material its made of is tough. I like the harness and belt. I like the pockets on the side of the belt. The perfect balance - no complaints.
