mobikemike newbie Registered: 09/23/12 Posts: 3	All: I'm dusting this thread off. Last season I ended up suffering another couple trips with my ancient North Face Snow Leopard. It's time for that to end. I ordered one of each pack REI carries in the 55-75 L capacity range. Selections from ArcTerryx, Osprey, and Gregory. They all seem so overbuilt! I am convinced by this forum that more suspension is worth carrying weight for, but damn these things all have so many frickin' zippers and dividers and pockets. Just give me a plain sack of light-ish material and a few lash points or mesh pockets like the Gossamer designs, mated with the more robust suspension. Does this make any sense? Is there really a reason to have such complicated pouch designs? Are there any Euro brands that might have such a sensibility of robust waist and shoulder straps plus simple, high-volume other parts? Am I smoking crack? And thanks again for all the thoughts so far! Edited by mobikemike (05/22/13 01:21 AM)
