>>952829>>952992now that i'm on my computer, pic related is the one i have. it looks like there's a new version that i can't speak for, but this pack's taken everything i can throw at it and eaten it up. like i said, i haul heavy ass climbing gear around, no problem. main pocket opens nice and big so you can see what you're getting without having to dig too much. and the compression straps cinch it down nicely when i have a smaller load. but i like having lots of pockets to sort my stuff into, so ymmv. it doesn't have as clean a profile as the salewa, but i'm just imagine having to dig blindly down into that tube every time i want something, and i think it would drive me fucking bananas. that style's great for backpacking when you can layer big objects efficiently, but less ideal for edc where stuff tends to shake together, imo.
