We've got a couple reviews out so far so I thought if post links.

First is Dave Chennaults review for BPL. He put over 300 miles on a 4800/Base Talon combo and wrote an extremely detailed review. Anything you want to know is here....




Next up is a four pack comparison written by Scott Reekers for 24hourcampfire.

I read in the review of Scott that the Paradox hasn't got a Lumbalpad. With softpacks this was always for me important since I have no hips and no behind. The packs always slided down on me except if I thickened the lumpalpad with some empty garbage bags folded up and stuffed behind the pad.

So what's the story on Paradox Evo frame for thin and long guys as me (no hips no butt) do they slide downwards over the hipbone and your behind? Is a lumbalpad possible as an accesoiry?

If you read Dave's review on BPL, he seems to be of similar body style and it worked great for him. The hip belt grips very very well without a lumbar pad. I would venture to say a lot of the early adapters are hip less, based on belt sizing ordered. The belt stays put very very well, due to a combination of articulation, tailoring and soft padding.

Your body would be fine Zuma. The articulation on the belt makes the belt flat work.

Thanks for the replies, I'm saving some money to buy one....

Here is the review I wrote after my first backpack with my new Evolution. Since writing it I found out that the accessory pockets I ordered DO include a pocket for a bladder. I consider myself quite lucky to have one of these packs. I mean it, it rocks.

while i just ordered my unaweep i plan on doing a extensive review for not only here but for big backpackers everywhere, as is much needed for we have big problems with fit and comfort relative to price..

Is there still a way to read Scott Reekers four pack comparison?

I can't seem to find it on 24hourcampfire's website.

I have no idea honestly . Much has changed since then and I would consider it a bit dated regarding features and pack bag . In fact , Scott recently commented how much nicer the new lid is

I figured that, but thought it might still be interesting to read.

Thanks anyway.
