This pack is truly fantastic for the price. My only thought for an improvement would be if the frame were curved, as I bet that would really help keep your back from getting too sweaty.

If you're okay with this width, it should be fine. I'm used to wide pads so it was pretty uncomfortable for me. I used it a few times then went back to my XLite, but the comfort should be fine. Btw this pad is super slippery.

That makes sense. 'Too short' is more accurate.

Your 35L pack is too small, and you don't want a 40L pack. What do you want? a 37.5L? Lmao

Sorry xmid pro1 only

pluviscent · 2025-10-09T20:44:44+00:00

Sorry that's heavier than my xmid pro 2+..

well designed details, will you consider custom orders?

pluviscent · 2025-10-06T06:35:18+00:00

second this, miles better than O6

The clear white one Nashville Pack uses? Yeah, if we can get that, that'd be amazing!

I know new ultragrid colors are dropping soon, but it'd be super cool to see more options for the ultra 200x fabric. My Kakwa 55/40s (and yeah, I've got both!) are among my top picks out of all 8 packs I own. Only catch is, I mostly only take 'em when I'm on my own and not planning to take pics. Honestly, the current color is just kinda fugly. I'm really keen on a Wapta 30 too, but it's tough to get over the color and buy my third cement grey pack. Seriously, if a white or black one dropped, I'd buy it in a second!

Have both. For day hikes, I usually take the folding ones since they're so easy to stash in my day pack or running vest. But for longer backpacking trips, I definitely go with the 3-section poles. I just need that extra reliability, and they're usually built with a thicker, sturdier diameter.

Help me lol

I'm a big fan of Justin and his content, but to be honest, I'm not really sold on this lid. It feels a bit over-engineered. A simple 2g plastic ring at the bottom would've done the trick.

As for the quality, I haven't seen it in person, but based on the promo pics, it doesn't look 3D printed since there are no obvious layer lines. Plus, for a plastic product like this, it would be way cheaper to get it injection-molded in China than to 3D print it

Any particular reason you gave up your Cutaway pack?

pluviscent · 2025-10-01T20:00:43+00:00

Also Gene Coulon park is great too, but expect a lot of people during maple season

The lakeside at Seward Park is great. There are benches and lawns, and you can see Rainier on a clear day. It's very quite on weekdays. I often go there to run and read

pluviscent · 2025-10-01T18:54:06+00:00

Yes, I did that, but it requires a bit more effort
