Another Lightweight Pack
“Cyberhobo” posted a comment on yesterdays reference to the Two-Heel Drive story on lightweight packs:
My MountainSmith Auspex is pretty tough for the weight. I think they nailed the perfect comprimise with it.
I have to agree. I also own an Auspex and it represents a very useful middle ground between the old school behemoth packs and the new wave of tiny, ultralight (and sometimes a bit fragile and underfeatured) packs. I wrote a bit more in my reply to cyberhobo (see the link to the comment above), and have even more to say in Dan’s Equipment List.
