The trampoline back surface - a tightly woven mesh back panel that lifts the pack off your back by 1/4" to 1/2" is incredible! I'm Polish and Russian by heritage. That means I…

While not the lightest weight pack ( I have tried GoLite, Granite Gear & others) I would not trade this pack for any of them. It is lightweight with great features including…

I LOVE this pack! The back is fantastic. It is somewhat rigid and curved so that it fits your back as if it isn't there. It has great pockets with more than enough room for a…

I like that many extra straps, zippers, pockets, etc were removed during the design process, yet a full suspension system was included. This makes a pack that is comparatively…
