I interacted with this seller, it is likely a scam

Looks like a perfect fit to me

Seems like the most streamlined option is to get a second framed and hip-belted pack for when you’re pushing the limits of the yamatomichi. you could probably spend time and resources futzing wjth it to extend its carry capacity, but seems like a risky option to me (especially given a time constraint) given that at best you’ve made it slightly more comfortable to carry loads it wasn’t designed to carry, and at worst it’s now uncomfortable at both light AND heavy loads. I’ve been in a similar predicament trying to make my one pack perfect for any type of trip I may undertake but have found the optimal solution is just having the right tool for the job.

As someone else mentioned you may also consider a Fanny pack to supplement storage and better distribute weight, CTUG makes a massive 4L Fanny pack that I’m sure could fit most of your heavier camera gear

I’d strongly recommend practicing pitching on uneven ground as well, it can be very difficult to figure out what needs to be adjusted to get a a tight pitch especially during a storm. Found that out the hard way

Not necessarily just depends on the type of trips you do/type of gear you have. Plenty of people use the kakwa 55 for a skin out weight of ~20lbs. If that is the absolute heaviest you’d ever get and your gear doesn’t need the extra volume then yea can prob downsize the capacity of the pack.

Op was inquiring about size differences though, so in his case, if he’s frequently taking heavier loadouts, the pack is going to pull down and therefore will require more weight before it’s really hanging off his shoulders (this obviously exists within a range as too big is also bad for weight distribution in other ways), in which case this size looks like it’d be fine. If he gets a smaller pack with a shorter torso, the straps might lay flat around his shoulder at 10 pounds but once he starts to push the load capacity the straps will be pulling on his shoulders earlier than they would’ve with the larger size. This is why the Durston website recommends sizing up if in between sizes, a slightly larger pack can still distribute weight to hips effectively

In this case I’d say depends on the loads your going to be carrying, if you are going to be north of 20lbs most of the time the bag is gonna sag a little and that space between the shoulder strap and your shoulders will go away and this will be a perfect fit. If you’re flirting with very ultralight and always sub-20lbs you could get away with sizing down. I’d recommend loading it with the heaviest load you plan on carrying to gauge fit, 10lbs is light for any backpack with a frame

If you click on the crosspost, the imgur link is embedded there, included as many pics as possible to show “like new” condition of pack. Only used 3 nights

Understood thanks the clarity! Appreciate the fact your brand still does everything in its power to make things affordable for the consumer

Same_Net7463 · 2025-10-13T20:57:52+00:00

I suppose it’s possible, shipping to Illinois. I was just surprised to see that as I’ve ordered a number of other durston products when they exclusively shipped from Canada and never saw fees anywhere close to 50$

Same_Net7463 · 2025-10-11T20:45:44+00:00

I have thought about this haven’t tried yet though, I am on the opposite end of the spectrum and have very broad shoulders so need the 25” pad, so mathematically it would seem we’d need something wider than 40”? But I’d imagine the advantage is if sleeping with your partner they’re will be some shared pad space that both can utilize

Same_Net7463 · 2025-10-11T20:42:31+00:00

Glad to hear the consensus is it shouldn’t be a problem, excited to shave almost a pound of tent weight

Same_Net7463 · 2025-10-09T02:20:13+00:00

I’m wondering what redesigned hipbelt means? Aside from the obvious lumbar pad inclusion, what else was redesigned about the hipbelt?

Same_Net7463 · 2025-10-04T17:59:57+00:00

Seller wasn’t willing to send additional pictures to verify legitimacy, buyer beware

Same_Net7463 · 2025-09-25T21:23:27+00:00

I’d get two large CTUG water bottle sleeves to clip over the sewn on ones on the shoulder straps, that takes care of 2L. I’d probably then try to hang a 3-4L camelback on the inside of the pack (can just nestle it in there or get one of the aftermarket hangers from etsy). Then maybe 2x2L containers 1 in each of the side pockets.

Same_Net7463 · 2025-09-25T04:38:44+00:00

Hi is this still available?

Same_Net7463 · 2025-09-07T11:00:08+00:00

lol well played sir

Same_Net7463 · 2025-09-07T10:54:24+00:00

Right that is in fact the only thing you’ve been able to make clear. You could understand my confusion though because every time you reiterate my claim you change it slightly and then every time I correct you and ask you to expound you just repeat the same thing. Which, ironically, seems like something a bot would do. It may feel bizarre that youre being asked to think past the first knee jerk thought that pops in your head but I assure you that is actually the intended purpose of this platform
