I don't think so, I just received my Divide last week with Day Talon and the Multilid arrived yesterday. I figured out how to assemble all the pieces and straps and I find this a VERY sweet pack for most hunting I can still do.....MOST impressed!!!
I have been toting packs in the mountains of BC since 1956 and in the Alberta Rockies and have owned/used most big name brands, my longtime favourites have been Bozeman-made Dana Design packs, then the later MRs.
But, I am 69, have serious skeletal-neuro issues and overall weight is now a major concern for me; this fine rig cuts 2/3 of the weight I have been humping with my full rig MR NICE system and that is a BIG deal to me.
When, I have some more $$$$$, I am going to buy a Paradox Exposure for general backpacking-alpine fishing, as I like these so much.
JMHO, but, based on a lot of experience.
