Sierra designs 40-60 - Sierra Designs 40-60L Flex Capacitor Backpack

I bought this pack for winter backpacking qnd I have only used it once for a long day hike. I had everything packed for an overnight in the White Mountains of New Hampshire in October where it was expected to be qbout 35 F overnight. The total weight of the pack was 32 pounds and it felt very comfortable when I set it up. My partner couldn't make it, so I removed some of the overnight items so that I could just do an 11 1/2 mile hike. The bag now weighed about 24 pounds. I really like how the straps on the outside of thw bag can compress it down to secure the load. The bag sits really well on your hips and the shoulder straps adjust so you can cinch the bag close to your back. I also plan to use this bag for alpine ice climbing this winter.
