Item #TNF6032 | 4 in Stock
2 Star Rating

main belt broken

By Ranked #1448 - Weekend Packs (3000-4500 cu in) March 20, 2008

On Aconacagua at 6000m (=cold) the attachment of the main belt of my Prophet65 backpack BROKE with a load of approximately 22 kg only!! The attachment (only about 0.5 mm thin !!) seems to be very lousy to me ... Otherwise the backpack is ok, but this defect is absolutely not acceptable.
