At 7# 8oz. I find it to be an exceptional pack that I've carried from AK thru WY, CO and NM..
FWIW, the three guides I know in AK all use external framed packs for serious haul- outs in mountain country. They shop at Barneys Sports Chalet in Anchorage.

Choices are always a good thing.


At 7# 8oz you can almost double the size for a couple "extra" ounces...and have the extra space available, when one needs it the most.
