Nashville Pack Cutaway Review

Thanks for the review.

I just wish the Ultra version was 250 to 275 bucks! It is too expensive at 320 bucks. A MLD backpack with Ultra 200 plus Ultra 400 costs $300. SWD Ultra 400 costs 300 and a Ultra 200 costs $249. Yargear Drifter Ultra 400 costs 240.

So, I think Nashville Pack is overpriced for Ultra compared to other popular frameless backpacks. If it was cheaper, I would buy one!

Outstanding review, Thank-you.

What is the sleeping pad pictured (brown/grey soft nap)? I have a cutaway on order and would like to use something as a back pad to protect the pack from sweat contact over a long period.

How has the pack performed over the last year, in regard to build?

thx again –

Dear SDVanman,

Regarding the pads, the review features two. The one I use as a backpad is from Decathlon, the Forclaz M100 https://www.decathlon.com/collections/camp-mattresses/products/hiking-mattress-forclaz-m100-foam?variant=12215383261295

Unfortunately, I have not put any miles since the review on the pack. I lent it out for several months and then I have been working on other pack reviews that kept me away from the Cutaway. I also like the wider backpanel on the current model (the review has the older model that had a narrower torso).

Iago –

Very kind of you to include a link! I had no idea the back panel was larger non the new model, much appreciated.
