LIGHT AND COMFORTABLE
This pack weighs about half as much as my Baltoro 65. There are more pockets and outside access on the Baltoro, but the Focal 58 has enough organization and I'll take the lighter weight. Really happy with the ventilation of the mesh back and hip belt. So far I've carried about 25 pounds load on a test hike and it was very supportive and stable. Not planning on exceeding the 35 pound recommended weight limit on future trips - trying to go lighter. The Baltoro now seems like overkill unless you know you'll carry heavy loads day after day.
Pros:
- Light
- hip belt zippered pockets
- Plenty of room for most trips
- Well ventilated suspension
- Large rear back pocket for raingear
- Pockets in the brain
Cons:
- Not designed for heavy loads
- Not as durable as a heavier pack
Best Used for:
- through hiking
- Light backpacking
Would recommend: Yes
