Hey everyone, new guy interested in these packs.
My current state of things has me backpacking either with friends where my weight is typically in the 20-25 lb range and also just starting hiking/camping with my daughter where I have to be "sherpa" dad and carry everything. Last trip my pack weight was 65 lbs. Ugh.
I've made due with an old external frame and my own nylon pack bags. I modded the external with a HPG harness and GG waist belt. The GG belt leaves a bit to be desired as it attaches at the small of the back and can distort and ride down.
Anyway, these packs look like they could really fit the bill for me, so I'll be hanging around to see what cool stuff comes.
