Thanks


Same thing here RE the abrasion... sending email! smile

I love my Paradox. The hip belts work.

The Talon is awesome because it acts like an extension for the compression straps.

I am finding that I have zero interest in a larger Talon or using teh Talon as a day pack at all because the Paradox frame + bag by itself is so easily compressible to the size of a day pack as it is AND MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE.

I find that I would much rather just empty the contents of my main pack into my hammock (or tarp or garbage bag), leave those in camp and then add the "day pack use items" to the main bag and carry the whole thing compressed to practically just the frame, no Talon.

That is why I bought the the Paradox pack system to begin with --> it is so light that it can be the "day pack" itself also.
This is not so if your frame + pack's weight is 6 to 10 lbs when it is empty.
