Thank you for recommending to check that out. 20% of off is a great deal. I'd be jumping on it except I'm actually looking for the older version of this pack. The one where the grab handle in the front is hidden from view it's The "perfect fit" version.
That said I'll look to see what other gear I might order from them and I'd definitely be open to other packs with a similar styles. I named the kelty bc so far it's the only 1 I found that checks all the boxes for me. I'm looking for a clam shell design with at least 3 separate pockets aside from the main compartment. The sleeves under the side pockets for treking poll's\axe etc...and the"helmet pocket"? On back. All that and then I'd like it to look casual enough that when almost empty I could synch it tight and ignoring the hip straps almost look like I'm headed to a collage class instead of the trail.
