Great ultralight climbing pack!

This pack is wayy lighter than any other pack in its class and cheaper. Although, it is a tad bit less comfy due to the ultralight constuction. You can cram so much stuff in this pack, it's almost too big; almost. I'm 5.9, 160 - these packs might feel a bit large if your not wearing many layers. I have drug this thing through chimneys, up ice, down snow slopes and still no holes - don't be fooled by the lightweight fabric, it's super tough!!
