All the pack i need! - Osprey Exos 58 Pack

Finally had a chance to use the updated Osprey Exos 58 this past weekend with my kids. It performed very well - I had it packed with approx 25 lbs of gear, food and water, and it never felt uncomfortable. It carries a BV500 bear bin sideways and swallows it easily, but still carries a balanced load very well - distributing the weight well no matter if I packed the food and bin in the bottom, middle or top, which I found surprising. Really nice access to water bottles, great compartments in the lid for organizing gear - and all that in a 2.5 lb option. I had the older Exos 48, and while it was nice, I think the extra carrying volume of the 58 is best unless you're a dedicated UL enthusiast. I can't wait to take it out on the trail again!
