So far, I am VERY impressed with my July/15 made Divide and am hoping to buy an Evolution 6300 soon, just need to save the $$$$$.

I have owned/used a LOT of higher end packs since my first in 1968 and bought my first after 12 years of backpacking here in BC.

I find the current belt to work better than almost any I have had and I still agree with Brad, as having the two options would be a definite benefit to the total community of Paradox users, IMHO.

All in all, I consider this pack in its simple functional design to be a brilliant piece of work and I wish I had one decades ago.
