G’Day
Im fairly new to hiking and have chosen the light path. Its not as popular in Australia so i’m after some advice. Im after a pack for overnight hikes 35l capacity.As i do a bit of cascading it has to survive sliding along the odd rock.Also i still like the comfort of a good harness.As im not into extream ultralight im happy for the pack to be 1kg and not to expensive too.
Thanks for you help

A line of packs that are lightweight, very intelligently designed, but still “built to last” from sturdy materials are here:
They get rave reviews and are reasonably priced. The guy who created them believes in lightweight philosophy but also believes that a pack should last for years: not just for one trip or one summer. Thus he uses no silnylon, spinnaker cloth, cuben fiber, or other ultra-minimalist materials. (Nothing against these materials but they don’t seem like they would be suited to the poster’s needs.)

Second ULA. I have two of their packs and they are some of the best built packs around. And reasonably priced too. Brian is out of the office though between Aug.-Nov. of this year.
Thanks for the help.

Darren, just as a FYI, Macpac is upgrading the AMP and coming out with a new AMP Light series next year. Volumes will be 45, 35, and 20 L. Check out our dispatch from the OR Show from the home page. Will
