I picked up the 35 Fastpack. Have another race in a few months time and aiming to do a few adventures. The 35 gives me a little more space for my tent and stove when needed. The nice thing about the 35 is you can really lock it down when you are not using all the space and is only about a 200g weight penalty.Ms_Mudd wrote:Superb. Loving even more research and options to ponder.
Rosscodj-interesting to know the Xmid will fit. I just bought some pole jacks from Zpacks so could then take my carbon fixed length poles. Was looking at my SOL bivvy and it really is comporable in at least size to my Xmid, so adding a tarp and some guys to cover me in the bivvy would really mean the Xmid is a viable option instead.
Nice work on Kokoda Scooters, very impressive effort
What capacity UD are you running?
Mesh is such a pain ,you are so right. Great for cramming stuff in, but oh so easy to snag and tear.
Funny you should ask, I was just wearing it around the house and trying to stash my distance-z poles in the side pockets. That wasn't so easy..as in I couldn't do it at all... but tried a 1.2lt water bottle and that was much easier. Thinking about adding some attachments so I can use my salomon quiver with the pack too, I bought pole jacks from Zpacks to use on my poles with the X-Mid which could live in there too.Rosscodj wrote:Nice work! How easy is it to access those side pockets while it's on?
That is very useful info as the insert was what I could feel on my lower back and I would predict cause the chafe.Scooters wrote:Only other thing, ditched the waist band and that rubber back insert. Made it more comfy.
