Mountain Hardwear South Col Backpack - 4200-5000cu in

Item #MHW0860 | 8 in Stock
5 Star Rating

MH South Col pack

By Ranked #2292 - Backpacks July 9, 2008

I'm 6'1" 195 and got the large. Fit good, comfortable for 3 day hike ascending from 5,800 feet elevation to 12,000 feet and back. Needed to carry volume but wanted to go as light as possible for 15 mile long trail ascent. Large is 5,000 cu.in. and only 4 pounds. I had no problems, but I only had 20 pounds in it. It's a bare bones pack. Not as comfortable or sturdy as my Arc'Teryx Bora 80, but 3 pounds lighter. It was perfect for my situation.
