Yeah, I agree that is not the reason they didn't come out with a 6500. 5200 ci is a good base size for most people and with the PODS and pockets i am sure you will probbly have more than 6500 ci's of space to utilize.

Also, at first it looked like i would be selling my G2 LH. But now I see that these are not the same concept as the Longhunter and are a one peice deal. So i will be keeping the G2 LH for day hunt hauling duties. I might not even use these new packs for hunting, just for summer backpacking and scouting. I like the G2 LH versatility for hunting the way i do.
