Nice and lightweight but suspension is uncomfortable

Written on Aug 30, 2019

I'm 6'2 200# average build. Suspension height was adjustable and fit correctly. It looks nice feels like it is sturdily made.
First, this backpack felt a tad too narrow on my shoulders.
Second, the mesh panel has a different material on the outer edges. This gives it seams that pressed and rubbed into my back around my shoulder blades when I moved around.
Third, the hip belt is short and barely makes it over my iliac crest. This gives it a less comfortable feeling.
Fourth, pockets on the hip belt are small.
Conclusion, always try out a pack in person to make sure it fits you comfortably.

Right boot for light backpacking

Written on Aug 03, 2019

I tested these out with a short 3 mile hike in a local nearly dry creek bed with 20+ lbs loaded in a backpack. It gave solid footing or grip, good ankle stability for going up the creek side or across mild to moderate terrain, and good midsole support to help with pack weight. The creek bed was dry so I did not get a chance to check out traction when wet.
