Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting Stone Glacier packs

I have quite a few miles with the SG Solo on my back so I will comment a bit.

First, the bag is designed for someone with a minimalist approach, which for my style of backpacking/hunting is great. One of the knocks I have heard over time is that it really isn't big enough to get a full week of gear and food in. I think it is, but it will take a some real planning and strapping a few things to the outside.

The size of this bag makes the load shelf functional. With some of the bigger packs that have this option, my opinion is that there is potential to get the weight too far back with a full pack. The Solo bag is small enough that it won't throw the weight way out there.

The panel loader is a good design, and provides easy access to the main compartment. The two pockets are in well thought out spots, and make it easy to find a few of the pieces that tend to need their own space. The rest of my gear ends up in ditty bags or dry sacks, so why double up on organization?
