>>66665Yes. Polish or not. I've had this thing for 4 years and it's not missed a beat. No breakages, no sewing falling apart even after 4 years of heavy weights. Its a great pack. Shipping was a bitch tho.
>>66741I'm pretty poor at the moment, lots of bills etc... but I scrimp and save for a year at a time by not drinking or smoking etc... it's all worth it in the end.
The ILBE packs look like they're designed really well, just not such a fan of the cammo print they come with, don't like the digital look but there’s nothing fundamentally wrong with it of course. I'll check those other companies out. Cheers to you my kind anon!
>>67225Exactly. Because in the bush, there is no store/shop and lightweight gear does not inspire confidence.
>>67299For sure. Just take it easy and do multiple trips if needed. Nobody said it was a race.
Canadian winters in the bush are the reason for big packs. I take a shit ton of gear into the bush for a 2 or 3 week trip.
Pack light = Freeze at night! ;)
