    Default klymit motion pack

    Anyone here have any first hand experience using either of the klymit motion packs. I know they were a collaborative with elemental horizons and I love my aquilo. I have seen mixed reviews on the net and thought I would check here.

    I have the motion 35 pack. It carries very well; as well as any pack I have carried! The Klymit inflator pad that it uses for suspension is adjustable and very nice. The pack is a bit over built, which Klymit does say. I really like this pack for summer loads. After I use it a few more times, I will decide what things I don't need and cut them off, like the lower compression strap (pack is small and you would rarely need the lower strap), the hip belt snugger (have no clue what the proper name is), since the pack carries well with it loose, the shock cords on the side pockets, have no idea why those are on it (my pack is an older version with lycra side pockets). The harness and pack bag are very good. It comes with a patch kit for the inflatable suspension pad, just in case you need it. My pack weighs 25 ounces. It is an earlier version. The newer version is advertised to weigh around 21 ounces. It has water-proof zippers, but the pack material is not waterproof (strange).
    I can't speak for the larger pack. It is advertised to use a single U-shaped stay as well as the inflatable pad.
