The LuxuryLite Condor Modular Pack System is on my shopping list. At $295 for the latest package deal, it is considerably cheaper than just a couple of years ago. I have the V Bag down sleeping bag and I like both it and the service/support I have received from Warren Bruce.
www.luxurylite.com In 2005, Doug Johnson did a members-only performance review of this backpack at:
www.backpackinglight.com and there was some good follow-up discussion. You don’t have to be a member to read the three reader reviews of this pack on this same site. I found them to be just about as informative as the members-only stuff. This winter, I did a reader review of the V Bag on this site. And I agree with everything I said.
A couple of years ago this forum and
www.whiteblaze.net had some lively threads going about this external frame system. SGT Rock and MedicineMan have a lot of trail time under this pack. The latest stuff I could find is 12/12/07 “LuxuryLite Equipment Opinions” on the White Blaze Ultra-Light Hikers forum
