what backpack do you use?

[backtrack213]

I have an osprey atmos AG and was thinking of getting a lighter pack possibly a zpacks arc blast. I was wondering what packs you use and if anyone has the arc blast how it is overall.

I swear by my ULA OHM 2.0. Used to be a big Osprey fan, still am for certain uses (day hikes), but the ULA pack blows away my old Osprey Exos and Atmos packs for overall comfort and weight efficiency. This all being said, that zpacks Arc Blast looks sa-weet....

ZPacks ArcBlast in both 52 and 60L for my main packs.

I have the REI Flash 45 and 62 and like them as well.

I absolutely am in love with my gossamer gear gorilla. Spectacularly comfortable, light, and can pack a surprising amount of gear, thanks to a huge, very stretchy front panel.

Seek Outside Unaweep in CF and an SMD Fusion 60 and 50

Oder atmos 50 and a new atmos 65 AG. Good packs.

I switched from an Osprey as well because of weight. I've changed to the Gossamer Gear Mariposa.

I think grandma Gatewood had it figured out. Just use a duffle bag thrown over your shoulder.

Exos 48. I figured I could get a half pound lighter and spend a lot more money, but all that glorious back ventilation is what sold me.

ULA for life

LOL, the pack part comes off so it can be used to haul out your big game. the pack can be used without the frame as well. I do a lot of hunting and it does come in handy for hauling gear. Its just what i am comfortable with. If i ever get the chance to do a thru hike a different choice may be in order. But it works for all i do now.

Zpack ArcBlast 52

Elemental Horizons Kalais - Love it. It's very light, but still has a minimal frame so it carries well. Similar to some of the ULA packs, but not as well know.

Kifaru KU2200

Used it for 176 days on my 2012 thru. Had durability issues, I sent it back to Patrick at the end of my hike and they sent me a new one. Kifaru phased out the whole KU line just after I sent them a shredded pack. Hah! I think I may have the last one. I baby this one, it wasn't cheep.

I have an Osprey Aether 75. Had it for about 4 years now with over a 1,000 miles or so on it. Yeah it is a little heavier than some packs, but the quality and quality of service from Osprey is worth it.

Granite Gear Nimbus Ozone (62L, 50.5 oz with The Lid) for shoulder season backpacking.

zPacks Arc Blast (52L, 20.5 oz) for summer backpacking.

Granite Gear Crown VC60 - but I'm not a long-distance hiker, so I don't think my opinion is likely to matter. In a size Long, it's 65 litres, 36 ounces. It's a little bigger than I need for most of my trips, but I see a bear canister in my future, and wanted a pack that would take one horizontally. Most 45-50 litre packs won't, whatever the manufacturer says.
