Many thanks for the presentation! I bought the backpack too! For my things in winter top and underquilt with extra volume, hammock etc. is the size with 70 L. also perfect for a real photo equipment! Thanks again, with many greetings from Berlin.
I haven't had any durability issues in either really hot or really cold weather. The sound really isn't an issue once everything is packed tight and secured... but both colors are just as crinkly and loud when they're emptied out for the night.
I use a 20 degree Enlightened Equipment Revelation quilt in the Long/Wide size. It's plenty for me wrap around completely when it's cold, and having the ability to unzip completely so that I can throw a leg out on warmer nights is a big plus.
Just curious, what osprey pack were you going with before you went with this? I ended up going with the windrider 4400 and was using an osprey archeon 70 and that was heavy as shit 😂
I haven't found a problem with how it carries heavier loads without them, but they would be a welcome addition to the pack, just to keep the weight balance a little farther forward while I'm climbing steeper sections. It's a personal preference for most folks.
That's correct. You can roll it down as far as the spot where the shoulder straps are attached. Even rolled down, I've noticed that the 4400 seems to carry a little better than my 3400s. It's a tad wider, and the exterior pockets are bigger. Minor differences, but I can feel them.
