Posted this on the workout thread, then realized it belongs here.
I got a Paradox a few weeks ago and have been loading it up with 40-50 lbs. and doing a 3-mile loop, off trail, to get in shape for the mtns. Yesterday, I took a 45# load and put it in a different lightweight pack, one I'd used last summer and fall, and liked. I thought the Paradox was more comfortable in how it handled the load, I like the pack so far. Haven't tried any heavy loads yet, but 45# is still more than I normally carry in the mtns. Except for after tags are punched.
