I'm looking for a new pack (betcha this hasn't been asked before).
I'm currently using a Granite gear vapor trail, which i quite like. I recently received a virga and it needs to much tweeking to carry comfortably and it's still to large.
I'm into long distance hiking. Most of the time i carry a max. of 3 to 4 days of food. I use a TT rainbow (thinking about changing this too but most of the time i don't carry hiking poles which limits the choice for a significantly lighter shelter), use a poe max thermo reg (TM neoair looking good) and an alpkit Pipedream 400 sleeping bag. Cookkit is brunton crux or homemade redbull stove, with a trangia 1l pot. Don't carry much spare clothes.
I would like a pack that really transfers the weight to the hips and don't like strapping stuff to the outside of a pack or bulging outside pockets. And one that's affordable, and i say this because adding shipping and taxes amounts to a hefty increase in price (for example a ula ohm would cost me 265$). Where getting the GG gorilla over the pond in about a month.
