>>195691That's for the top of the line. The cheapest versions, made from the less sturdy materials are more like $800-1000 and still insanely good.
I read an account of how one of these packs fell out of a helicopter onto a mountain and rolled 1000 verticle feet down the mountain before coming to a rest and was still intact, that was with 70 pounds of gear in. The only damage being where an ice axe had ripped the hood.
Indestructible even under extreme use; only problem is they general dont ship abroad.
