Klymit motion 35 pack

I’m curious about this pack, myself.  Anyone using it?  Feedback?  Certainly a killer price….

@kcsupertramp – Thanks for sharing about the Klymit Motion 35 on Massdrop. You mentioned the starting (highest drop) price but neglected to state that the lowest price point would be under $60. Also, I don’t see where Klymit has this pack on their own site for sale.

@kwersal – I’m happy to answer any questions you may have about this pack. What are your intended uses for this?

I’ve read the specs on the pack, and the size looks about right for my gear.  I’m just curious to know if anyone has been using this pack for a while and how it is holding up, what they like/dislike about it.  Is the airbeam suspension easily removed so that it could be used to augment a 3/4 length sleeping pad?  Thanks!

I had this pack — sold it because it was too big on me.

It holds a ton — cavernous. Airbeam is easy to pull out — it’s actually a bit too long for the pack (you have to fold the top down), so potentially useful if you’re using a 3/4 pad. Although you wouldn’t necessarily need to pull it out if you just empty the pack & lay it flat. Can’t speak to longevity of the pack but it seemed well constructed to me.

Thanks, Mercedes, that is helpful.  Since I do have a 3/4 pad, it would be pretty handy to stick the whole pad under my legs for warmth/comfort.

Oh, and I don’t know if it helps, but I have a 17″ inch torso & found the S/M size to really be more of a medium (too big for me) which is why I sold mine. Klymit’s website says the S/M fits 16-20 inch torso.

John Abela has a rather extensive review of it.
